-[ASCII supports only 95 printable characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#Printable_characters), principally those found in the English language. Each of those characters uses 1 byte, which is factored into the [total file path length](understand-path-lengths.md) on an Azure NetApp Files volume. This limits the internationalization of datasets, since file names may have a variety of characters not recognized by ASCII, from Japanese to Cyrillic to emoji. An international standard ([ISO/IEC 8859](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859)) further attempted to support more international characters, but also had its [limitations](). Most modern clients send and receive characters using some form of Unicode.
