Unicode

If you manage global master data, or provide access to your customers through the Internet by allowing them to enter contact data directly, then you need to support multiple local language characters.

Individual code pages enable the display of specific character sets. The benefits of Unicode-based SAP applications are:

  • Support of multilingual data without restrictions
  • Ability for IT systems to support multiple local languages simultaneously
  • The software can take full advantage of XML and Java
  • Possibility to integrate SAP and non-SAP system landscapes, enabling universal business collaboration
