Lets hope not, because then it would be UCS-2 and NOT UTF-16! As far as I know D2009 (I think) handles this correctly, but I have no idea how. > (AFAI understand, a Widechar is just 16 bit, it would need to > be 32 bit if surrogates were allowed in Widestrings). Good question and I have been wondering about this myself. In D2009 SizeOf(Char) = 2, so I have no idea how that works with surrogate pairs. Can anybody explain this please?
