UTF-8 characters are represented by one to four bytes. For other multibyte collations, one or two bytes are used. For all
provided multibyte collations, characters of two or more bytes are considered to be alphabetic. This means that you can use
these characters in identifiers without requiring double quotes.
Characters in an UltraLite database are either from the codepage implicit in the chosen collation, or are UTF8 encoded. UltraLite
databases that use the UTF8BIN collation are automatically UTF8 encoded. If the operating system to which you are deploying
your UltraLite application uses UTF8 or Unicode (like most Linux distributions, Windows Mobile and iPhone) or if you plan
to store characters from multiple languages in your database, you should create your database using a UTF8 encoding. If you
try synchronizing UTF-8 encoded characters into a consolidated table that does not support Unicode, a user error is reported.
From Sybase Central, you can choose UTF-8 encoding in any wizard that creates a database. On the New database collation and character set page, select the Yes, use UTF-8 as the database character set option.
From a client application, set this parameter as one of the creation parameters for the create database method on the database
manager class.
