1n represents the maximum number of characters allowed in a string.

TIBCO Adapter SDK (starting with v3.2) supports Unicode characters. This allows applications to use Unicode strings and to send them over TIBCO Rendezvous. TIBCO Adapter for COM leverages this functionality by using the UTF16_LittleEndian encoding support of TIBCO Adapter SDK.
