True, but within a year or so, there *will* be surrogates assigned in Unicode. One
cannot be premature in supporting them at
Mikko,
As Oracle UTF8 character set definition supports surrogates by a pairs
of two 3-bytes to be sync with UTF-16 in binary sorting and code point,
you will have the same issue to determine how many bytes for UTF8 as how
many ushorts for UTF-16 if you want to have exactly match in surrogate

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,
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.

Jianping..

If not, then you can actually consider how big the field needs to be by the
characters being used and what is the largest per character byte co
Title: Oracle and Surrogate Pairs
What is the correct way of supporting surrogate pairs in Oracle 8? Anything wrong with approach of making fields 3 times longer from ASCII or should fields be 4 times ASCII as per UTF-8 spec?

Probably not, since it is a national version of 10646, and not of Unicode.

Would it be appropriate to look at the title of GB-13000, which is ISO/IEC

It seems that Chinese is the only major language in which the term "Unicode"
needs to be translated rather than transliterated. It may be time to gather
up current usage and select an "official" translation, and perhaps to bless
one or more informal ones.
We have collected these candidates so f

Hello Mr. Paresh Agarwal,
Yes, it is certainly possible to make your fonts based on Unicode. The fonts
would need to contain glyphs mapped to the corresponding code-points in the
Indic blocks. If the fonts contain a number of consonant conjuncts, and
