Languages containing characters that are ideographic such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean are called double byte character set (DBCS) languages. A DBCS character is minimally four bytes long, two bytes for the character plus two shift-control characters. Each DBCS character, or string of DBCS characters, must be delimited by shift control characters. The i OS DBCS operating system has special system defaults to standardize handling of DBCS data.
