Unicode and UTF-8 Code Page
A single QAD database can be set up with multiple domains, each with a distinct language. With a Unicode database, languages with different code pages can be supported in the same database. Defining a Unicode database is an installation option described in the relevant installation guide for your system.
Unicode is a data storage and display protocol—essentially a combination of a code page and collation table. The QAD Unicode database uses the UTF-8 code page, which includes all characters from all languages; the collation table sets the sort order for those characters for display or reporting.
For further information on Unicode and the UTF-8 code page, see
QAD System Administration User Guide.
