See ''[https://www.stata.com/features/overview/unicode/ Unicode support]'' on Stata web site. See also the help on [https://www.stata.com/help.cgi?unicode Unicode utilities], and the section 12.4.2 "Handling Unicode strings" of the PDF [https://www.stata.com/manuals/u.pdf User's guide]. Unicode support was added in Stata 14.
# How easy is it to present Unicode strings in source code?
Line 1,330:
#:Yes. Unicode literals can be part of variable names (in all places : datasets, scalar and matrix variables, and Mata variables).
# How well can the language communicate with the rest of the world?
#:Stata datasets (extension .dta) are stored in UTF-8. I/O with CSV files can use any encoding supported by Java (see the list [https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/intl/supported-encodings.html here]). There are also commands to convert legacy .dta files and text files to Unicode, see the link to Unicode utiilities above.
# Is it good at input/output with Unicode?
#:Yes.
