Double-Byte Languages

OS/2 Version 2.0 provides additional support for double-byte character sets, with four new SAA codepages supported. These are:

  • 942 - Japanese
  • 944 - Korean
  • 946 - People's Republic of China
  • 948 - Taiwanese.

    This support is in addition to the previously supported codepages 932, 934, 936, and 938.

    Double-byte codepages may only be used on hardware which supports the use of double-byte character sets, such as the IBM PS/55 family, and with the Asian version of OS/2.
