Window mode CLPPlus console and UTF-8 character support

The window mode CLPPlus console can read UTF-8 characters from the file system, database, and interactively from the keyboard. The window mode CLPPlus console can write UTF-8 characters into the file system, database or interactively to the standard output. Also, column alignment issues that can be present with the non-window mode CLPPlus console are resolved with the window mode CLPPlus console.

UTF-8 character support is available only in the window mode CLPPlus console, which is the default CLPPlus console type. For the non-window mode CLPPlus console, support for non-ASCII characters is limited. In the non-window mode CLPPlus console, you might not be able to enter certain non-ASCII characters. Misalignment of result set columns can occur if non-ASCII characters are included in that result set.
