Usage Notes

• The number of bytes that constitute a character depends on the type of string that causes the exception:
  • If EBCDIC, one byte corresponds to one character.
  • If Unicode, two bytes correspond to one character.
  • If UTF-16, two bytes correspond to one character.
  • If UTF-8, the relationship between bytes and characters is variable, depending on the code points.
