charsetUSASCII The default character set using US-ASCII which defines 7-bit printable characters with values ranging from 20h to 7Eh.
charsetISO8859_1 An 8-bit character set for most western European languages such as English, French, Spanish and German. This character set is also commonly referred to as Latin1.

charsetISO8859_6 An 8-bit character set for Arabic languages. Note that the application is responsible for displaying text that uses this character set.

charsetISO8859_8 An 8-bit character set for the Hebrew language. Note that similar to Arabic, Hebrew uses a reverse writing direction.

charsetISO8859_9 An 8-bit character set for the Turkish language. This character set is also commonly referred to as Latin5.
