About Syntax Tokens

To process Japanese characters, you must use a syntax token that enables non-Latin characters in the data that the map will process. The Map Editor provides the syntax token K, which enables all double-byte Japanese characters.

You can create a syntax token to meet your specific needs. For more information about syntax tokens and creating them, see Formatting Data in Fields. If you create a double-byte character set (DBCS) syntax token, you must configure the syntax tokens on a computer with a DBCS operating system (Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, or Simplified Chinese) or a Windows 2000 system to which you have added font support for one of those languages. If you do not configure syntax tokens, the DBCS button is inactive and you are unable to use it. Syntax tokens cannot be imported.
