I hate to state the obvious but in a string data type, an ASCII "character" is one byte in size (char), and a UTF-16 "character" is two bytes in size (short).
I apologize if this is out-of-place for your conversation, but I get a lot of people who confuse a string character with a byte, instead of a variable number of bytes, but ... you know, just in case that is the real issue here I wanted to "fix it". So I'm not sure whether to say de nada or lo siento, Andrew On 2020-05-03 at 12:02 PM, Antonio Scuri <antonio.sc...@gmail.com> wrote: > The UTF-16 function takes a "string" That is weird. UTF-16 strings are unsigned short* arrays, strings in Lua are char* arrays. Something is not right. Is there a link for the documentation of that library?

Sorry I did not make myself clear. The UTF-16 function takes a "string" and will not work with a "light user data" so I need to know how to convert the light user data from the iup.clipboard to a string using just lua. -- Jane.
