# ServerHelperApi::GetUnicode()

Return the Unicode flag setting.

Virtual? | No |
Class | `ServerHelperApi` |
Arguments | None |
Returns | `int` | returns 1 if unicode is enabled

## Notes

When a personal server is initialized it can either be in Unicode mode or not. If set to use Unicode mode all filenames and metadata will be translated from the code page used by the local machine into UTF-8. To be able to push or fetch, a personal server must match the Unicode setting of the shared server. Use the `CopyConfiguration()` method to copy the Unicode and case-sensitivity settings from the shared before initializing the personal server.
