Multibyte management

TSS is the LN solution to support languages that require a character set of at least 16 bits, such as the languages of the Asian countries. A 32-bit wide character space is implemented in Enterprise Server to support all possible character sets.

Be aware that a character is not necessarily the same as a byte and can take up more than one screen position. A character in the bshell occupies one or two screen positions at a size of four bytes.
