As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Actually, DBCS is *NOT* 16bit Unicode.
While a field using a "G" type (apparently) can hold Unicode data ... DBCS and Unicode are completely different (at least in the IBM i concept).
From the DDS manual: "The data types J (only), E (either), O (open), and G (graphic) support DDS database files that use DBCS. The G (graphic) data type also supports DDS database files that use UCS-2 or UTF-16."

FWIW: According to Wikipedia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBCS) there is a controversy regarding the term 'DBCS' ... "Some people use DBCS to mean the UTF-16 and UTF-8 encodings, while other people use the term DBCS to mean older (pre-Unicode) code pages that use more than one byte per character. "
