Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Internationalizing Applications

Using Unicode with OpenEdge applications

You can create and run a character or graphical client application that uses Unicode. Since the OpenEdge database server and the OpenEdge graphical client support Unicode’s UTF-8 encoding, but the OpenEdge interactive character client does not, OpenEdge applies a different set of rules for using Unicode with the batch character client and the graphical clients.
