Double‑byte characters may be included by preceding each contiguous group of them with the Shift‑out control byte, (X'0E'), and following this group with the Shift‑in control byte, (X'0F'). Any TDP identifier and all delimiters (slash, commas, blanks, quotation marks, apostrophes) must be specified as single-byte characters. |
KANJIEUC_0U |
Each character requires one or two bytes, each possibly preceded by a Single-shift-2, X'8E'), or Single-shift-3, (X'8F'), control byte. So each character requires a total of between one and three bytes. Any TDP identifier and all delimiters (slash, commas, blanks, quotation marks, apostrophes) must be specified as single-byte characters. |

Each character requires one or two bytes. Any TDP identifier and all delimiters (slash, commas, blanks, quotation marks, apostrophes) must be specified as single-byte characters. |
UTF-8 |
Each character requires between one and three bytes. Any TDP identifier and all delimiters (slash, commas, blanks, quotation marks, apostrophes) must be specified as single-byte characters. |
UTF-16 |
Each character requires two bytes. Any TDP identifier and all delimiters (slash, comma, blanks, quotation marks, apostrophes) must be from the basic repertoire, that is, unaccented Latin characters. |
