Need help in reading input from the console using a vc application -unicode

1
Hi All,
I have built a win32 coonsole application. It works fine with _MBCS/MBCS settings.. On changing it to unicode, i face the following problem.

If it is Unicode, then i use _setmode to change the mode of stdin to binary.

My appllication reads characters from stdin using gettchar. In the unicode build, i notice that the content in memory is not utf-16 but probbaly shift-jis encoding...coz characters with code point like 0061say, takes only one byte whereas characters with codepoint 5305 has taken 2 bytes and the value corresponds to the equivalent shift-jis encoding....
How can i ensure that 2 byte format is used for all codepoints....with gettchar
