Solaris UTF-8 Support
The Operations Manager agent requires Solaris UTF-8 code set conversion support under some circumstances. Consult the Solaris documentation for details on installing UTF-8 code set conversion support. The Operations Manager agent functions without UTF-8 support on Solaris, but unrecognized characters are translated to question mark (?) characters.
