  • Article

The Char data type is a user-defined fixed-length single-byte character string that has a supported number of single byte characters that range from 1 through 8000. If a particular string value does not use the entire user-defined fixed length, the remaining characters are padded with the space character. The values of this data type are represented in simple Unicode string format, as follows.
