AVEVA E3D Design uses Unicode for character storage throughout, with the exception of data migrated from older versions of PDMS. This simplifies its installation so that, in general, no special settings are required, other than making sure that the appropriate language support is installed in Windows.
There are aspects of the Unicode standard that are not yet implemented. AVEVA E3D Design currently handles the following correctly:
-
Left to Right languages; and therefore not, for example, Arabic and Hebrew
-
Pre-composed characters; for example, the single character á but not the combiners a + ' => á
-
Upper and lower casing of characters, where both cases have the same number of bytes
