## About the Number of Characters You can Enter

In the Language Text, the number of characters you can enter depends on the types of characters you use. This is because the required capacity (number of bytes) differs depending on the character.

You can enter a total of 512 bytes of characters in the Language Text. The number of bytes is calculated and checked using UTF-8 encoding.

As a general standard, the number of bytes required for one character is as follows.

Required Number of Bytes | Target Character
1 byte | Single-byte alphanumeric characters and symbols
2 bytes | European, Arabic and Hebrew characters
3 bytes | Hindi, Thai, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese characters

Note: Some special characters may require more than 4 or more bytes.
