unicode strings

[elena12345]

Do I need to do anything special to handle unicode. (Japanese characters) Or will regular string variables work for that? Thanks, Elena

Strings in .NET are stored in Unicode. To type Unicode characters, use \uxxxx where xxxx is the hexidecimal Unicode characters. See the TextInfo class for additional information, such as enumerating Unicode characters (since characters may be made-up of multiple codepoints). Be careful when marshaling strings to unmanaged code. See the DllImportAttribute.CharSet and StructLayoutAttribute.CharSet fields in the .NET Framework SDK documentation. The default is CharSet.Ansi, which will marshal the Unicode string as ANSI (ASCII plus whatever codepage is appropriate).
