How does TOYS handle non ASCII character sets?

0

All character data is handled internally by TOYS as UTF-16 encoded Unicode. Meta-data (snapshots) are saved in Unicode (UTF-8). HTML reports are also written in Unicode (UTF-8). Because, UTF-16 is used internally to handle Unicode strings, Unicode 3.1 and above is supported. This means that the supplemental characters [mostly Asian] that were introduced in Unicode 3.1 are supported.When working with TOYS you mostly don’t have to worry about character sets. There are however a couple of areas where the issue of character sets raises it’s ugly little head.
