`Visa Platform Connect`
:
Credit card networks cannot process transactions that contain non-ASCII characters. `Visa Platform Connect` accepts and stores non-ASCII characters correctly and displays them correctly in reports. However, the limitations of the payment card networks prevent `Visa Platform Connect` from transmitting non-ASCII characters to the payment card networks. Therefore, `Visa Platform Connect` replaces non-ASCII characters with meaningless ASCII characters for transmission to the payment card networks.
