The Output.Unicode property sets/returns whether output is written in Unicode or single-byte format.

Syntax

VBScript:

JScript:

Parameters

boolVal

True: Write Unicode characters to the output stream. False (Default): Write single-byte characters to the output stream.

Notes

Unicode is a character standard that accommodates characters from international languages.  Two bytes are used to represent one Unicode character.  When the Output.Unicode property is True, Output.Write() writes Unicode characters to the output stream.

Single-byte characters are referred to as an ANSI character set.  DBCS (Double-byte character set) is an extension of ANSI, where some non-ANSI characters are represented by two bytes.  When the Output.Unicode property is False, Output.Write writes ANSI/DBCS characters to the output stream.
