[DataSpider Servista] When you specify encoding with "Windows-31J" and "Shift-JIS" and then output, junk characters such as "?" are displayed.
When you specify encoding with "Windows-31J" and "Shift-JIS" for "-", "～", "∥", “－", "￠", "￡" and "￢" and output the junk characters such as "?" are displayed. Is there any counter measures for this?

Answer
There are chances that mismatching between Shift-JIS and Windows-31J (MS932) of the character code might be the cause.
Either the encoding of input and output should be matched or can be supported with "Convert CP932 to SJIS" and "Convert SJIS to CP932" icons available in the versions released from 2.1.1 onwards. Hence try it.
* Refer to [Trouble Shooting] in the online help for more details.
