There is support for Chinese and Korean character sets. UTF-16 support is available on Microsoft Windows, UNIX, and mainframe system environments.
When Teradata-defined character sets are not appropriate for the site, create site-defined character sets. See the following tables for details.
See Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Fundamentals, B035-1141 to learn about international character sets, character set restrictions, export rules, and defining your own character sets.
