Unicode Support

Unicode is a standard for providing consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text. There is a unique Unicode number for every character, independent of the platform and language. Unicode is internationally recognized and is required by modern standards (such as XML, Java, JavaScript, LDAP, CORBA 3.0, WML, etc.).

Oxygen XML Author Eclipse plugin provides support for the Unicode standard, enabling your XML application to be targeted across multiple platforms, languages, and countries without re-engineering. Internally, the Oxygen XML Author Eclipse plugin uses 16-bit characters covering the Unicode Character set.

Note: Oxygen XML Author Eclipse plugin may not be able to display characters that are not supported by the operating system (either not installed or unavailable).
Tip: On windows, you can enable the support for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) languages from Control Panel / Regional and Language Options / Languages / Install files for East Asian languages.
