Unicode problem

[m_mun]

Hi all, I want to display a special font using UNICODE, in my MFC application. I have used '_UNICODE' in preprocessor. This is my syntax TCHAR **strUnicode; //... wcscpy(strUnicode[0],L"U+0985"); //Bengali unicode of a single charecter After that, i want to display bengali character by print value of 'strUnicode'. But it display 'U+0985'. Can any one told me how to construct 'strUnicode' and to display charecter. Thanks to all

Try using something like that:

std::wstring str = L"Special letters: \u0985";
MessageBox(NULL,str.c_str(),L"Caption",MB_OK);

Almost :)

std::wstring str = L"Special letters: \x0985";
MessageBox(NULL,str.c_str(),L"Caption",MB_OK);

Should be

wcscpy(strUnicode[0],L"\x0985");

:confused:Is there any difference between \x20AC and \u20AC for example ? Characters size or code page issues or other? I've thought they display exactly the same and wcscmp confirmed that produced strings are identical.

The former is a character escape for a hex number - the later is not a valid C/C++ escape character[^]. [EDIT] But MS VC++ happily compiled it - apparently, a MS-specific extension [^]: "If a backslash precedes a character that does not appear in the table, the compiler handles the undefined character as the character itself. For example, \c is treated as an c." Funny :) [/EDIT]

I got C4129 from VS6.

So we found a case where VC6 is more standard-compliant than VC10 Beta 2 :)

What do you know? I just found out about Universal character names[^]. They are not escape sequences, but can be used to enter various international characters.

OK.Thanks for your feedback. My best regards. :) [EDIT] I wondered why I used \u but I've discovered that it's C# equivalent [^] of the C++ syntax i.e C# routine.
