Introduction
- Unicode can be implemented by different character encodings. It provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language. Each code point is a number with many digits which can be encoded in one or several code units. Code units are 8, 16, or 32 bits. This allows Unicode to represent characters in binary.
- Database not support the non-Unicode character usually you have to change the Windows system locale in order to display the character correctly (eg. Chinese Simplified character).
- Now in SQL Financial Accounting - Unicode version, it helps the database to store the non-unicode characters and able to display the characters correctly without change system locale (at Regional setting).
- Requirements:
1. Firebird 3.0 and above
2. SQL Financial Accounting version 737 and above (coming soon)
