Who can provide one simple guide to save multilingual characters in Derby? It is better to show me step by step. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello,
Derby's character datatypes are represented internally as Java strings. That means that they are sequences of 2-byte unicode characters and are therefore multilingual. If you insert character data into a Derby column and select it later, you will retrieve from the database exactly what you put into it.
It is hard to say anything more without knowing what experiments are failing for you. We could probably give you some more advice if you could share more information about those experiments.
Thanks, -Rick
