Hello Vinay,

Please have a look at the Unicode conversion Guide:

Excerpt:

"Whenever there is no information to determine the correct code page, R3load uses the Global Fallback Code Page (GFBCP) for the conversion. Its default value is the code page which corresponds to the logon language EN, or else 1100. This is a global setting for all tables."

This basically means you should select the code page used by the majority of the users / data .

If you use 1160, then the majority of users should be based on Latin-1 (Western European code page).
