If both sender and receiver use the same defaultsystemcodepage, it should
transfer fine.



Is it meant to send a regular string (like a pointer to char) and not 
more complex strings? Both?


Because if a string is being sent across two different separate 
processes (exe's) and possibly in different programming languages (when 
I make simpleipc DLL) it will be handy to know what exact type of string 
this communication is meant for: english characters, unicode,  utf8, all 
of the above.


Regard it as an array of bytes and you'll be fine.
