Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Internationalizing Applications

Multi-byte applications

OpenEdge supports multi-byte characters. This means that you can develop applications for countries whose languages require multi-byte character sets.

Double-byte characters comprise a subset of multi-byte characters. Languages that use double-byte characters include Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

For more information on multi-byte languages, see Chapter 8, " Using Multi-byte Code Pages." For information on running multi-byte character clients, see Chapter 10, " Deployment and Configuration."
