MUltibyte Characters

3 New Member
my C program deals with single byte characters but now i want to fetch multibyte data stored in the datbase so what all changes i need to make to the code so that it handles multibyte data as well.

i know about wide characters and convertion from wide to multibyte.but m not sure of where to start from.
what all header files to include?
do i need to change locale type or include some codepage and if yes how to do all these?

m supposed to change all char* types to wchar_t* types...is there some thing more to change...
if possible can neone provide me some code snippet handling multibyte characters(incl uding simple functions like converting strings in to bytes and arrays)
while explaning please take me as a novice here n explain thoroughly.

Hello I've browsed the FAQ but apparently it lacks any questions concenring wide character strings. I'd like to calculate the length of a multibyte string without converting the whole string. Zygmunt PS: The whole multibyte string vs wide character string concept is broken IMHO since it allows wchar_t not to be large enough to contain a full character (rendering both types virtually the same). What's the point of

Is it true that Multibyte characters are : char arrays (witch represent a string from the basic characters set). In this case Wide characters are the way for encoding characters from the extended characters set. or Multibyte characters are: characters from the extended character set which need more than one byte to encode. And in this case wide

Hi, The following code is meant to validate a string of multibyte characters by using mbcheck() to call mblen() on each character on the string passed to it. The problem is that it isn't working how I expect. I've included in the comments what I think mbcheck() should be returning for each string given my understanding of how the multibyte system works. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h>
