# 1 Re: Memo or Memo binary
If you're just storing plain text, then an ordinary memo is fine. A memofield will normally have the current code page in effect applied to it so
special characters for the language involved will show correctly. If you
switch code pages, you may have the data altered without you doing anything
at all. If what you're storing is binary type data, having it altered
automatically could be devastating to the content. That's why there are the
two different types.
