Eric Patterson commented on OFFICE-1895:
----------------------------------------
I proposed the following updated text for the RightB function:
Summary: Returns text corresponding to the right-most number of bytes from T using Length. RIGHTB is intended for use with languages that use the double-byte character set (DBCS). The conversion of bytes to text is implementation defined and is dependent on the encoding in use.
Syntax: RIGHTB( Text T [ ; ByteLength Length ] )
Returns: Text
Semantics: As RIGHT, but using byte positions.
Note: Excel uses UTF-8 encoding .
> RIGHTB and friends is incompletely specified

> 6.6.6 RIGHTB
> Summary: Return a selected number of text characters from the right, using byte position.
> This description fails to indicate what happens in the likely situation that the selected bytes do not form a complete character sequence. Should that be an error or move to a correct position?
> Similarly for the otehr ...B functions
