• Key Concepts: 
  UTF-8 is a character encoding standard used to represent text in computers. It is a variable-length character encoding that can represent up to 1,112,064 characters. It is the most widely used character encoding standard and is supported by most operating systems, web browsers, and other software. UTF-8 is the default character encoding for SAP systems and is used to store and transmit data in SAP applications. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In the BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment, UTF-8 is used to store and transmit data in SAP applications. To use UTF-8, you must set the code page of your system to UTF-8. This can be done in the system profile of your SAP system. Once the code page is set to UTF-8, all data stored and transmitted in SAP applications will be encoded using UTF-8. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the code page of your system to UTF-8, make sure that all other systems that are connected to your SAP system are also set to use UTF-8. This will ensure that all data stored and transmitted between systems is encoded using the same character encoding standard.
