Can i use date type 'nchar' ?

$

Dear experts, 

since the date type char is not able to handle special character like "ç" without occupying more than one character* i figured out by abstracting from the documented date type nvarchar the non-documented** date type nchar which is able to do so. 

 

My question is whether or not i can use this date type. Is there maybe a reason why it isn't documented (e.g. thou shall not use for reason xy ).

 

Many thanks in advance for your responses,

Tobias Müller

 

*  e.g. “Xxxxxxxçx Xxxxxxxx” occupies 19 characters instead of 18 if inserted into a char-col

** at least not documented in http://help.sap.com/hana/html/_csql_data_types.html
