RE: Oracle and Surrogate Pairs

[Mikko Lahti]

What is the recommendation what comes dealing surrogate pairs and supporting CJK Unified Ideographs, Extension B (especially HKSCS) which will be in next version of the Unicode standard?   Mikko   -----Original Message----- From: Jianping Yang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 24, 2000 5:08 PM To: Mikko Lahti Cc: Unicode List Subject: Re: Oracle and Surrogate Pairs   Mikko, As there is no character defined in surrogate range in Unicode 3.0, the maximum width for Oracle UTF8 character set is 3 bytes. Here I recommend you to use 3 times for the number of  characters you intend to store in a column. Regards, Jianping..

Anything wrong with approach of making fields 3 times longer from ASCII or should fields be 4 times ASCII as per UTF-8 spec?
