  Multibyte code is a type of character encoding used in SAP systems. It is used to represent characters from multiple languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It is based on the Unicode standard and is used in the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA).
  
  How to use it: 
  Multibyte code can be used to store and display characters from multiple languages in SAP systems. It is important to note that the system must be configured to use multibyte code in order for it to work properly. To do this, the system administrator must set the parameter “abap/unicode” to “true”.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using multibyte code, it is important to remember that some characters may not be supported by the system. If this happens, it is recommended that you use a different character encoding or switch to a different language. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all programs and reports are written in multibyte code in order for them to work properly.
