Characters vs. Bytes
Key points
- Japanese characters use several bytes
- Counted in UTF-8
- Check when the limit is in bytes
The difference
- Letters and digits take 1 byte each.
- Japanese characters take 3 bytes each (UTF-8).
Character Counter (for Applications and Reports) also shows the byte count.
Check this when a form's limit is in bytes.
