hi jacques,
I'll add some elements.Here in Luxemburg, we use french german languages then
I have some experience with extended characters.
To store the extended chars, if you choose codepage OEM862 or Windows-1255 ,
you work on single byte coding the both don't re-define chars 252,253,254 then
no-prob with sv'ed, mv'ed data.
Regarding sortorder, yes, use Right justification.
For display, your client must works with a compatible codepage font and
communication must be set to 8 bits.
For printing, your printers must known the codepage font.
If you choose unicode, you must turn Universe/NLS on. At basic runtime, UV
works as unicode multi-byte (reread your basic code regarding chars
manipulations) then be carefull to understand there is only one language
declaration per file/device - when possible use unicode.
Problems start when you need display hebrew, french or russian chars on the
same screen and a non-unicode client !
my two pence
Manu

Hello,
Has anyone here ever used Universe with a Hebrew character set ? Is it
neccessary to to with a full 16-bit Unicode character set or are there older
8-bit character sets that are useable ? Also since text is apparently read
from right to left (like in arabic) how are sorts affected ? (Must dictionnary
elements be changed from left justified to right justified ?)
