BIG-5 does not need an escape sequence. ASCII is a 7 bit character set, which means that
               the top bit of the byte is “0�. The parser knows that when the top bit of the byte is
               “0�, the character set is ASCII. When it is “1�, the following bytes should be handled
               as 2 bytes (or more). No escape technique is needed. However, since some servers do not
               correctly interpret when they receive a top bit “1�, it is advised, in internet RFC, to
               not use these kind of non-safe non-escape extension.</td>

1. UTF-8 must be the default encoding of the message, UTF-8 cannot be specified as an
               additional character set in MSH-18
2. There are no other character sets allowed in a message where UTF-8 is the default encoding
               in the message.
In other words, UNICODE UTF-8 can only be specified as a single value in MSH-18
