By the way, Unicode is only an encoding, not a storage specification. The actual storage is with multi-byte characters that happen to represent Unicode codes. Technically, you can use Unicode with single byte characters as long as you restrict yourself to the single byte Unicode values.

you can use that macro anywhere you use a string literal. You can't, however, use that macro with a char*

// this will NOT work
char* hello = "Hello World";
wchar_t thello = UNICODE(hello);

// this will NOT work char* hello = "Hello World"; wchar_t thello = UNICODE(hello);

Your point being? There was never any assumption that the macro would be used with narrow string variables, unless you were reading a few posts that I conveniently missed. Or are you just posting pointless fluff to make yourself look smart when you can't find anything meaningful to add?

are you suffering from pms today

encoding: Computer Science. To format (electronic data) according to a standard format.
