DBCS is short for double-byte character set. It uses two-byte (16 bits) characters rather than one-byte (8 bit) characters. It's needed for languages like Chinese/Japanese/Korean where characters can't nbe represented by single byte character sets like ASCII or IBM's EBCDIC.

You should only require it if you are using one of these type of languages.

Most of the time - if available - it comes as an add on library for whatever software you are using.
