Use of Special Characters

Annex 25 of the GIRO BKR Business Rules states that in text-type fields of HCT Inst messages (if they are not identifiers), only Hungarian accented characters (found in the "extended" ASCII range above 128) may be used in addition to all standard UTF-8 characters (in the range 32–127).

Good to know

For foreign names, it is advisable to convert special characters to Hungarian characters before submitting the transaction; otherwise the transaction will not be executed.
