As often happens, I managed to solve the problem after posting the question.
SetLength(WS,Length(S)div 2); Move(S[1],WS[1],Length(S)); I was previously typecasting WideString(S) but of course that does some unwanted conversion. And then run WideCharToMultiByte with CP_ACP codepage and WC_COMPOSITECHECK flag. Ross. From: Ross Levis [mailto:r...@stationplaylist.com] Sent: Monday, 15 November 2010 6:40 PM To: Delphi Discussion List Subject: UTF16 To ANSI ? I hope someone can help. I'm using D7. I have some UTF-16 Unicode (Chinese) characters stored currently in an AnsiString variable. I need to display this correctly on a PC with Chinese language installed. The Windows main language is set to English, but in the Advanced tab of the Windows Regional & Language settings, the "Language for non-unicode programs" is set to Chinese. The string starts $FF $FE . I can't seem to find the correct function to use. I've tried WideCharToString and WideCharToMultiByte without success. Many thanks, Ross. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list Delphi@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi
