When you create an application with double-byte coded character set (DBCS) support, follow these guidelines.
A complete list of these guidelines, as well as a full description of each guideline, is included in Volume 1 Designing Enabled Products, Rules and Guidelines (SE09-8001). For your convenience, a subset of these guidelines is provided in the following table.
| Complies | Not applicable | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Double-byte coded character set code points in the graphic character range must be used only for graphic characters and must not be used for control purposes. | ||
| Single-byte meaning must not be drawn from either byte of double-byte coded data. | ||
| Double-byte coded character set character generators must be capable of producing user-accessible graphic characters. | ||
| The ability to switch between single-byte coded character set and double-byte coded character set and the coexistence of single-byte coded character set and double-byte coded character set in the same session must be possible. | ||
| User-interface text modules for double-byte coded character set systems must be loaded separately from the running code. |
