Does Cassandra support storage of Japanese characters - Kanji & Katakana ? It requires UTF-16 i believe and could not find any supporting documents. Reaching out to wider community to see how others are handling.
Does Cassandra support storage of Japanese characters - Kanji & Katakana?
The Unicode standard supports over ninety thousand CJK characters (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) including both Katakana and Hiragana [1].
All these CJK characters are supported regardless of the encoding used so it applies to UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32.
The CQL data types text and varchar are both UTF-8 strings so choosing between the two types is a matter of personal preference since they're the same.
For a complete list, see CQL data types. Cheers!
