Resolution
The character limits of the Item fields/columns can be found in the Course Localization File Columns page from the SAP Help portal link.
Note: Languages can vary on how many bytes per character.
For example Japanese, Chinese and Korean can occupy more bytes depending on the character. It can be from 2 - 4 bytes
- UTF-8 uses 1 byte to represent characters in the ASCII set, two bytes for characters in several more alphabetic blocks, and three bytes for the rest of the BMP. Supplementary characters use 4 bytes.
- UTF-16 uses 2 bytes for any character in the BMP, and 4 bytes for supplementary characters.
- UTF-32 uses 4 bytes for all characters.
There are string to byte counters calculators online that can help assist you with calculations of characters for each language [These tools are not supported by SAP]
