RMAN duplicate a PDB in a database of WE8MSWIN1252 character set to a CDB of AL32UTF8

Oracle 19c (latest release) on RHEL (almost latest version) for both source and target

Is RMAN duplicating a PDB in a database of WE8MSWIN1252 character set (at both CDB and PDB level) into a CDB of AL32UTF8 character set supported? I can't find this information in documentation. Perplexity seems to say OK but ChatGPT says No. We did this before and it appeared to work. But we're not absolutely sure there's no silent data corruption we haven't found.

Howdy, Stranger!
