Unicode

Unicode specifies that the data stored in the data source is in Unicode format. For installs, all data sources default to Unicode.

For DB2 for Linux, Windows, and UNIX, Unicode is required for Central Objects data sources and any other data sources using the same database as Central Objects.

Note that the code page still must be set to the correct value even though the data sources may all be Unicode. The Unicode flag only indicates what column type is used to store character data in a Unicode database.
