SATO CL4NX Programming Reference Manual page 119

• If input code is set to UTF-8, the size of character code is available up to 4 bytes. UTF-8 does
not support 5, 6 bytes.
• UTF-16BE supports up to 2 byte character code. 3 bytes UTF-8 and 4 bytes UTF-16BE are not
supported.
• Complex script languages (Arabic, Hindi, Thai), Hebrew are printed with proportional fonts,
regardless of setting of font type in order to use the formatter function and the combined font
function.
• The linefeed code cannot be inserted among one word or one character code forming one
character for the complex script languages (Arabic, Hindi, Thai), Hebrew. If the linefeed is
inserted, the rendering result is not guaranteed.
• Comply with Unicode 2.1 (note that if the first byte is 0x1b when UTF-16BE is specified, it is
judged as a ESC code).
• When performing sequential number printing in Arabic, Hindi, Thai and Hebrew, the character
codes are rendered as a character string and it may not function properly.
• This command does not support partial editing because the complex script languages (Arabic,
Hindi, Thai), Hebrew extract the character string for using the formatter function and the
combined font function.
• Complex script languages (Arabic, Hindi, Thai), Hebrew render character codes as character
strings in order to use the formatter function and the combined font function. Other languages
render character codes in character units, so that a gap between fonts is different from that of
the complex script languages.
• Note that when a combination of character codes and font sets is other than below table, the
expected character may not be printed.
