Need Unicode question answered ASAP

I have a question regarding data types on Windows 2000 SVC Pk 4 & SQL Server
2000 Svc Pack 3a:
If I convert a char(20) Column to NChar, should I be using
Nchar (20) or Nchar(40)?
Thanks much.NCHAR(20). For Unicode data types nchar & nvarchar, the length refers to
the number of (2-byte) Unicode characters you can store, not the number
of bytes.
HTH,
Bart
