Unicode conversion problem of some Chinese traditional characters

Hi All

Can anyone explain why the expression "AscW(ChrW(3832 1))" is equal to -27215
?

(38321 is the Unicode code for one of the Chinese traditional characters)

AscW is supposed to return a Long value, isn't it?

This also happens in VB6

Cheers

From MSDN
Asc "Returns an integer representing the character code corresponding to the
first letter in a string"

So Asc returns an integer (and I guess ascW also returns an integer). To
represent larger values than 32768 negative values are used. At least VB
will give you the right (and same) character using ChrW(38321) or
ChrW(-27215).

It also says in MSDN about chr(charcode) function "on DBCS systems, the
actual range of charcode is -32768 to 65535"

Hello, I use Unicode in my program to enter data in Chinese into a nvarchar field. When inserting or updating records, my application does not use Unicode escape sequences but rather the Unicode characters themselves.

Hi, I am currently facing difficulty displaying chinese, japanese, russian etc. characters. I am using VB 6 and ADO to query the DB2 Version 7.2 unicode database (UTF-8). The resultset that comes back contains garbage characters for Chinese, Russian etc languages. The english characters come back fine using ADO. It seems that DB2 assumes that my application is NOT Unicode compliant.

Hello, I'm writing an class library that I imagine people from different countries might be interested in using, so I'm considering what needs to be provided to support foreign languages, including asian languages (chinese, japanese, korean, etc). First of all, strings will be passed to my class methods, some of which based on the language (and on the encoding) might contain characters that require more that a single byte.
