UTF-32 - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  UTF-32 is a character encoding scheme used by SAP to represent Unicode characters. It is a 32-bit encoding scheme that uses 4 bytes per character, allowing for a much larger range of characters than other encoding schemes. It is used in the BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment to ensure that all characters are correctly represented and displayed.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use UTF-32, you must first set the character encoding in the ABAP Runtime Environment. This can be done by setting the parameter “abap/unicode” to “utf-32”. Once this is done, all characters will be encoded using UTF-32 and will be correctly displayed.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using UTF-32, it is important to remember that it is a 32-bit encoding scheme and therefore requires more memory than other encoding schemes. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your system has enough memory to support UTF-32 before attempting to use it.
