As such, it is easy to see that the complexity of ensuring language coding compatibility among software components is proportional to the number of different coding standards multiplied by the number of operating systems supported at client and server sides. Thus, it is desirable, if possible, to at least standardize on a common coding standard (e.g. Unicode) in order to avoid confusion, incompatibilities, and encoding/decoding errors during information exchange as well as to eliminate all unnecessary coding conversions among software on the same or different machines. Moreover, it also shortens software development time, reduce support and maintenance support, etc. when only one single coding standard is needed to be tested, implemented and supported across all software at both client and server sides.
