Modifying Character Set

Last updated: 2023-11-01 17:37:18

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.
