Code page of PI system

Question

hello guys,
i've a typical issue here...
I have an inbound interface which also sends mails after processing.
I need to send the data as an attachment in the mail.
For that i am using CL_ABAP_CONV_OBJ=>CONVERT to convert the text i am getting into the current system's GUI codepage format.
I am using SCP_GET_CODEPAGE_NUMBER this FM to get the appl_codepage and gui_codepage.
The problem here is....
When i run the payload from SPROXY, the FM gives me gui_codepage of SAP ECC system.
But when the interface gets run through PI proxy. It is not giving me the  gui_codepage for an obvious reason that PI thing does not have a GUI.
My requirement is to get the gui_codepage of the system regardless of the way it gets run.
Please help me in achieving it.Any FM or table or anything would be appreciated.
Thnx,

About my previous answer, UTF-8 may be a problem. When there is no byte order mark (bytes at the beginning of the binary stream which describe whether the stream contains UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, UTF-32LE, UTF-32BE), the receiving software may not recognize this format. This is true with Excel (I don't know for Word, but it's probably the same logic).
In that case, you have to check what encoding is accepted by the receiving software.
If UTF-8 is accepted, then you need to convert text to binary (binary corresponding to UTF-8 encoding, using either CL_ABAP_CONV_OBJ, CL_ABAP_CONV_X2X_CE, or CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE; this last is the most simple). Then you must insert the 3 bytes of the UTF-8 byte order mark before the binary (concatenate ... in byte mode works well).
