By the time they get into DataStage, they have been mapped to Unicode code points. You may need, therefore, to use the UniChar() function to specify the character from which to convert.

UniChar(x) returns the character whose Unicode code point is x. You use it in a Transformer stage expression.

Its a basic function and hence will work in a server job or for a basic transformer in px.
