Toggling Unicode ON and OFF

Before entering data on a new worksheet, Unicode can be toggled ON or OFF.*

Go to Edit and select Options - Note Unicode is set to ON in the lower right corner.

1. Select Language, click on Locale's writing system, then Apply. - Note Unicode is set to OFF.

* The Student Version of SPSS v.24 does not enable the user to toggle Unicode OFF while altering a previously saved file. If you need to toggle OFF Unicode for an existing Unicode supported file, it is recommended that you send your file to someone with the SPSS Grad pack or full version. He or she can toggle Unicode with the instructions above, or by running the command SET UNICODE OFF or SET UNICODE ON.
