# DefaultEncoding

The default encoding to use for the `OutputEncoding` action parameter. The `OutputEncoding` parameter specifies the encoding to convert the output from actions to before returning the output.

If you do not set `DefaultEncoding` or the `OutputEncoding` action parameter, Category Component uses the encoding specified in the `LanguageType` parameter sent with the query. If the `LanguageType` parameter is not sent with the query, it uses the encoding in the DefaultLanguageType configuration parameter.

Type: | String
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | LanguageTypes
Example: | `DefaultEncoding=UTF8`
