It means "string literal", and is used for building an array of wchar_t
elements (instead of regular 8-bit char). The thing is, C doesn't
say how big wchar_t is supposed to be. Some compilers make it 32-bit
(yours could be one of these), and others make it 16-bit. There
is, AFAIK, no portable way to declare UTF-16 string constants using C.
Please inform me if I'm wrong about that, it's something I'd like to
know how to do :)
But I'm thinking you really want to do this anyway:
sqlite3_open("test.db", &db);
sqlite3_exec(db, "PRAGMA encoding = UTF-16", 0, 0, 0);
sqlite3_open16() just converts the argument back to UTF-8 and does
exactly the above anyway.
