I busy to convert characters within a widestring to an xml stream; However I encounter problems with 'special characters' e.g. the euro sign.
Searching for a solution, I did find within the about.delphi.com website: About Unicode character sets The ANSI character set used by Windows is a single-byte character set. Unicode stores each character in the character set in 2 bytes instead of 1. Some national languages use ideographic characters, which require more than the 256 characters supported by ANSI. With 16-bit notation we can represent 65,536 different characters. Indexing of multibyte strings is not reliable, since s[i] represents the ith byte (not necessarily the i-th character) in s. If you must use Wide characters, you should declare a string variable to be of the WideString type and your character variable of the WideChar type. If you want to examine a wide string one character at a time, be sure to test for multibite characters. Delphi doesn't support automatic type conversions betwwen Ansi and Wide string types. Does anyone know how to extract the nth character of type widechar of a widestring? My example: var Value : widestring; begin Value = ''; examining this example will result in: Value = '' > TRUE but Value[1] = '' FALSE Conversing widestring character to xml format , i use: '&#x' + IntToHex(LOrd, 4) + ';' Parsing the variable Value ord(value[1]) will result in 8364 and ord(value) will result in 0080 ; Any ideas will be welcomed.
