• Key Concepts: 
  Base character is a term used in SAP's Internationalization (I18N) component. It is a character that is used as the basis for the representation of other characters in a language. For example, in English, the base character is the letter A. All other letters are represented as variations of A. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Base characters are used to represent other characters in a language. This allows for the representation of multiple languages in a single system. For example, if you are using SAP's I18N component, you can set the base character to A and then represent all other characters in the language as variations of A. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up your base character, make sure to choose one that is easy to remember and recognize. This will make it easier to identify and use the other characters in the language. Additionally, it is important to ensure that your base character is compatible with all of the languages you plan to use in your system.
