What characters can I use in Cxense Display?

In most cases Cxense Display will allow you to use any type of character. But in some certain features, Cxense Display will in only allow a specific range of characters: These features are:

• Name-value pairs targeting (both when writing the name as well as the value)
• Keyword targeting
• Search word
• The Category shortname

In these features the valid characters are:

&*-./0123456789:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
¢µÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿ

Special characters - everything after z - behave differently depending on the site setup. Cxense Display expects all characters to be latin-1 encoded. If the site instead uses UTF-8, you need to add a special parameter to the ad call:

To make sure that special characters are always sent the way you expect them, the preferred solution is to percent encode them. Again, this can be done both using the latin-1 method, and the UTF-8 method. If UTF-8 is used, the parameter encoding=utf-8 must be added to the ad call.

The characters & and / must always be percent encoded if used inside a category shortname, searchword, keyword or name-value pair.
