Hello,

A couple of questions regarding the UTF8 and UNICODE_FSS character
sets in Firebird 2.0.


(1) Do either of these support unicode characters outside the basic
multilingual plane?


(2) There seems to be a big difference between the maximum field
length of CHAR and VARCHAR fields for these character sets:

UNICODE_FSS: 10921

UTF8: 8191

Given that they are both essentially utf-8 implementations, what is
the reason for this difference?


Thanks,
Timothy Woodward
