2.2.1.16.1.1 Unicode

The Unicode facet is a Boolean value. This value, when set to true, dictates the String type that an instance will store. By default, UNICODE characters are used, otherwise standard ASCII encoding is used. The default value for this facet is true.

Note The String data type does not support the kind of UNICODE to be specified, leaving it to the concrete type systems hosting EDM to choose the appropriate UNICODE type.
