Yes, JADE can support multi-byte languages.
You can get both ANSI and Unicode editions of JADE. Both handle the entry of multi-byte characters, but depending on what string manipulation you need to do, the Unicode edition may make development easier for you. If your application treats strings and characters as atomic chunks of data that are never broken up, then the ANSI edition might be ok for you (in which case you will have multi-byte strings, ie: some single byte characters mixed with some double-byte characters). However, if you break strings/characters up in code (eg: step along a string a character at a time to parse it, etc), then Unicode will make development easier as all characters are a fixed size.
If you would like a Unicode edition of JADE, please contact your account manager in the first instance, or JADE Support at
