Note that callExtension arguments sent packet size cannot exceed 2^13 bytes (8192 bytes) no matter what extension is used. This might cause confusion for devs using database extensions on sending big data. Here's some table of data sizes:
ASCII = 1 byte/symbol of data (Arma uses 8-bit ASCII)
UTF-8 = 2 byte/symbol of data (Such as Russian Cyryllic uses 16-bit encoding)
Digits = 1 byte/digit of data (considered as ASCII symbol so is counted as 8 bit, not 1 bit of data).
