• Key Concepts: 
  A character set is a set of characters used to represent text in a computer system. In SAP Business One (SBO), the character set is used to define the characters that can be used in the system. It is important to note that different character sets may be used for different languages, so it is important to select the correct character set for the language being used. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SBO, the character set can be selected in the System Initialization window. This window can be accessed by going to Administration > System Initialization > General Settings > Character Set. Here, you can select the appropriate character set for your language. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to note that changing the character set may cause some data to be lost or corrupted, so it is important to back up your data before making any changes. Additionally, if you are using multiple languages in SBO, you may need to select multiple character sets in order to ensure that all characters are supported.
