Double-byte character set (DBCS) LAN Server runs on both single-byte character set (SBCS) systems and double-byte character set (DBCS) systems. SBCS is a graphic character set in which each character occupies 1 byte. DBCS is a graphic character set in which each character occupies 2 bytes. Languages, such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, that contain more symbols than can be represented by 256 code combinations require double-byte character sets.
DBCS information is included throughout this book. Restrictions for DBCS
systems are indicated by the following example: ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
