The %C conversion specifier expects a WChar, which is a 16-bit value.
So you'd have to get each character to be printed using
TxtGetNextChar.

You are correct in that StrPrintF shouldn't be used to generate text
messages - it doesn't give localizers the flexibility they need to
re-arrange string elements.
The correct Text Mgr routine to use would be TxtParamString, or the
equivalent TxtGlueParamString in PalmOSGlue if you need to run on
older versions of the OS.
