Unicode in Windows

Win32 API elements that use characters are generally implemented in one of three formats:

  • A generic version that can be compiled for either ANSI or Unicode

  • An ANSI version

  • A Unicode version

This overview discusses Unicode data types and how they are used in functions and messages; the use of resources, filenames, and command-line arguments; and methods of translating between different types of strings.
