Multibyte Character Support
When the session character set is KANJIEBCDIC5026_0I, KANJIEBCDIC5035_0I, or KATAKANAEBCDIC, 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’.
When the session character set is UTF8, each character requires between one and three bytes.
When the session character set is 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.
When the session character set is KANJISJIS_0S, each character requires one or two bytes.
