> A popular trend lately is to send UTF-8 JSON data through data queues on IBM i. 
> Currently, the JT400 components has a `format` parameter that can be either "binary" or "text". This parameter affects how the component interprets both the data queue key as well as the data queue data. 
> JSON is text, but unfortunately the CCSID (encoding) used for text mode assumes the CCSID of the connection, and IBM i does not support unicode connections!  :(
> In order to properly read UTF-8 data from the queue, you need to use `format=binary` and then convert to String manually (for instance, with `.convertBodyTo(String.class, "UTF-8")`).
> This isn't all-in-all horrible, but I've seen it catch a decent number of people. This should be addressed by either or both of:
> * Having a UTF-8 example in the doc
> * Providing a new `dataQueueCCSID` parameter that allows for the explicit declaration of CCSID read from the data independent from the connection CCSID
