> # Unicode and Code Page Support

> The ODBC driver fully supports the SQL-W functions and Unicode arguments, for example, SQLConnectW. This support enables faster processing of wide-characters and allows binding of the SQL_C_WCHAR output type.

> On Windows, SQL-W routines map to UTF-16. On Linux and UNIX, SQL-W routines map to UTF-8 or UTF-16. How the database data types are mapped depends on the database and a number of configuration options. See "Internationalization, Localization, and Unicode" for more information about internationalization and localization and about important differences in developing applications on Linux and UNIX.

> See "SequeLink® Service Attributes" for information about the SequeLink service attributes that affect configuration.

> Refer to the SequeLink Developer's Reference for information about data type mappings, and additional information about developing applications on Linux and UNIX.
