enable permissive unicode configuration parameter allows you to include random binary data when enabled (set to 1). However, once you enable enable permissive unicode, SAP ASE correctly sorts only valid UTF-8 data.

Note: The default value for enable permissive unicode depends on the value to which enable functionality group is set. If you set enable functionality group to:

0 – the default value for enable permissive unicode is 0
1 – the default value for enable permissive unicode is 1

However, if you set enable permissive unicode to 1, it uses a value of 1 regardless of what you set enable functionality group to.
