<h1 class="topictitle1">Process double-byte characters</h1>
<div><p>Due to the large number of double-byte characters, the server needs
more information to identify each double-byte character than is needed to
identify each alphanumeric character.</p>
<div class="section"><p>There are two types of double-byte characters: <dfn class="term">basic
double-byte characters</dfn> and <dfn class="term">extended double-byte characters</dfn>.
These characters are typically processed by the device on which the characters
are displayed or printed.</p>

<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3bc.htm">Basic double-byte characters</a></strong><br />
Basic characters are frequently used double-byte characters that reside in the hardware of a DBCS-capable device.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3ec.htm">Extended double-byte characters</a></strong><br />
When processing extended characters, the device requires the assistance of the server. The server must tell the device what the character looks like before the device can display or print the character. Extended characters are stored in a DBCS font table, not in the DBCS-capable device.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbal3notproc.htm">What happens when extended double-byte characters are not processed</a></strong><br />
This topic describes the result you get when extended double-byte characters are not processed.</li>
