## D.6 Support of Character Sets

### D.6.1 Overview

The application supports all extended character sets defined in the DICOM 2002 standard, including single-byte and multi-byte character sets as well as code extension techniques using ISO 2022 escapes.

Support extends to correctly decoding and displaying the correct symbol for all names and strings found in the DICOMDIR, in storage instances from media and received over the network, and in the local database.

No specific support for sorting of strings other than in the default character set is provided in the browsers.
