It isn't, eg:
Implementations map NATIONAL CHARACTER (VARYING) to CHARACTER (VARYING)

That's incorrect, Firebird maps NVARCHAR to a specific character set in
VARCHAR,
which looks different, but means more-or-less the same.

Firebird doesn't understand "CLOB", but does have BLOB, subtype TEXT.

etc...
