get wide character and multibyte character value

200 100+
Hello everyone,


I need to know the wide character (unicode) and multibyte (UTF-8) values of a character string of czech. I personally know nothing about czech. Is the following approach correct?

1. I use L on the character string and watch memory to get the wide character representation of the character string in little endian form;

2. I change the computer region/language to czech, and use function WideCharToMultiByte, and use CP_ACP as input code page and use the L character string as input to get the output multibyte character string output from parameter lpMultiByteStr.

Is (1) and (2) correct? Any more efficient and smart ways?


thanks in advance,
George
