UTF -8 or UTF-16? - response (2) by dnoeth

Hi Nishant,
UNICODE in Teradata is always stored as UTF-16, i.e. two bytes per character.
In 13.10 there's COMPRESS USING TransUnicodeToUTF8 DECOMPRESS USING TransUTF8ToUnicode to change internal storage to UTF-8 which mightreduce storage when most chars are latin.
