SUMMARY: How does the PalmOS store Russian characters in a HotsyncID?

DETAIL: My PalmOS app reads the HotsyncID using DlkGetSyncInfo(NULL,NULL,NULL,pszBuffer,NULL,NULL);
This works for any 8-bit character set, which covers most European characters and accents, but of course not Asian characters or dead keys. But I just got my first customers with Russian characters in their HotsyncIDs, which breaks my code because it only sees the ASCII.


Russian characters can be stored using UNICODE or UTF-8, so I was wondering what format the PalmOS uses to store Russian characters, and whether or not they would show up using DlkGetSyncInfo?

All I need to be able to do is encode the bytes representing the Russian characters and my code will work, but I have no idea how they are represented on the Palm HotsyncID. (Or I need to know how DlkGetSyncInfo will reveal Russian characters and then my program will also work.)

Anyone's advice is much appreciated!
Thanks!
