Modifying Character Set

Last updated: 2024-09-11 15:41:54

A character set is a mapping relationship or encoding rule, including a coded character set and character encoding. The code points corresponding to a character set are mapped into binary sequences, so that they can be stored and processed by a computer.
This document describes how to change the character set of an instance in the console.
Note:
Modifying the character set of an instance may cause the instance to restart. So we recommend that you modify it during the instance maintenance time.
