While I'm searching for more information, have you got an idea about the
encoding of what windows things is UNICODE. Is it UTF16 or UCS2?
Terminology issues here:
Unicode is a character set. UTF16 and UCS2 are encodings of that
character set.
Yepp you are right, I was a little unclear here.
The WIN32 API is said to be UNICODE aware and all functions that are
within the api come in two flavors, in ascii and in wide (aka UNICODE).
Depending on the preprocessor switch _UNICODE and the TCHAR macros you
compile with or without UNICODE. Basically the difference is that TCHAR
is defined as a char or wchar_t.
I was looking for the encoding, that windows uses in its WIN32 API,
which is said to be UNICODE. Since the type is only a wchar_t (unsigned
short) it can't be the full unicode specification, because wchar_t is
only 16 bit. So Windows must use one of the UTF16 or UCS2 encodings or
its own flavor.
