Most of the characters are stored in a Single byte but some Japanese
Characters requires Two Bytes to store Characters. Is there anyway to
store those characters in a Single byte? I am looking for the query or
any other tool. Is this possible with SQL Server or any other
programming Languages?
MadhivananAs there are potentially several thousand Kanji characters and only 256
possible values for a byte it really isn't possible to use 1 byte per
character.
Use the Unicode datatypes (NCHAR, NVARCHAR, NTEXT) to store multi-national
character sets. You can read about those in Books Online.
