AnsiToUnicode Function

Overview

The AnsiToUnicode function takes an 8-bit string in ANSI/ISO-8859-1 coding and translates it to Unicode-16.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

wstring = AnsiToUnicode ( string data );

Parameters

data

A string containing ANSI text to convert.

Return Value

Returns a wstring containing the converted string. Use the IsError, IsNotError and GetLastError functions to determine if an error occurred and to retrieve a formatted error code.

Remarks

The function moves through the source data and promotes ANSI special characters to Unicode character positions while converting each 8-bit byte to a 16-bit word. Unicode shares the ASCII and ISO Latin portion of ANSI characters but typographical and special characters must be converted.

The conversion differs from simply converting 8-bit characters to 16-bit characters. Also note that there a number of undefined positions in ANSI, if present those characters are converted to Ctrl+? (0x1F) characters. When characters cannot be converted, an error condition is set and the number of failed conversion in the low word of the error code.
