Multi-byte characters

Hi All,

Does Informix data type support multi-byte characters. I need to insert data with multiple languages. I have a field with nchar(20). If i insert
a english or french data of length 20 chars it inserts in to the table. But when i want to insert korean data of same length, then it won't, the data gets truncated. Since korean characters are almost thrice the normal one. So how do i take care about it. Is there anyway i can take care about it, or else i will have to double the size of my column. Please advice.

Regards,

lloyd
