Chris,

 

During my 41-year career I've been a software developer, software architect, 
and CTO, including a five-year period where my team developed commercial 
applications in VB6. Since 1999 I've had a couple of side-project applications 
implemented in VB6. My focus now is .NET. As discussed on the site you 
mentioned and others, there are challenges to implementing Unicode-aware VB6 
applications. Other sites describe how to meet those challenges. A couple 
techniques we used were Unicode-aware component packages and TLBs for access to 
wide-character functions. Perhaps the technology infrastructure Legacy uses has 
an ANSI-only component baked-in and switching it out would require a 
rewrite-level effort. If so, they'd never rewrite in VB6 now so the effective 
result is "we can't support Unicode until we abandon VB6".
