Even now I am still using the same DB on AIX after making the changes. The UTF-8 data on the AIX box had no change (It didn’t corrupt the data), everything on it works fine.

Was the UTF-8 data still readable or did it become garbled? I have the same issue with migrating from AIX to Linux. During db2move import on Linux, it "coverts" from 819 to 1208 making all my data look garbled. I am worried about asking the admin of the AIX box to set it to 1208 just so I can have an successful import (we run the dev servers, someone runs the production servers). I am worried that the application running on the AIX will start corrupting data or display garbled text.
