| | This may not be quite true. When Unicode was first added to Teradata, Unicode was a 16-bit code only, so it may be that the server will
only store characters below the 16-bit line. Since Unicode 3.0 (?), more characters have been added above the 16-bit line. These require more than
16 bits in a UTF-16 encoding, so I don't know whether the server will store them correctly or not. It's unlikely that you would ever need them,
however, unless you're working for the Library of Congress or some similarly academic enterprise (Linear B, anyone?). | |
Linear B? Don't tell me that one is not interesting / useful!
As to the > 2-byte characters, I recall the manuals were quite explicit
on what was and what wasn't supported.

Victor
