Double-byte character sets are language character sets that require more than one byte (8 bits) of information to express each character. Each character of a DBCS is encoded in exactly two bytes (16 bits). Each character of a single-byte character set (SBCS) is encoded in exactly one byte (8 bits). SBCS character sets are used for languages such as Greek and Cyrillic. Double-byte character sets are used for languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.
