multibyte

multibyte: A character set that may consist of both one-byte and two-byte characters. A multibyte-character string may contain a mixture of single-byte and double-byte characters. Windows Server 2003 DNS uses the Unicode Transformation Format 8 (UTF-8) encoding scheme described in RFC 2044 to interpret and transform multibyte characters into single-byte characters of 8-bit length.
