Double-Byte Encoding is used to describe languages like Japanese, Chinese and Korean which take two bytes of data to represent a single character as opposed to one byte for European languages. Since there are roughly 32,000 different characters which need to be accessible for these Asian languages, certain page layout applications like QuarkXPress require native language versions in order to use double-byte languages.
