Chinese character in MFC

[Linzz1]

Hi,
I have a MFC project here which require me to read chinese character from a
text file and display them. However, the chinese txt file have to be save in
unicode while my program cannot read unicode file. I am wondering if anyone
can help me out if there is any solution that I can take without re-coding my
MFC application in unicode format.

Thanks

Linxzzi:

I assume that you mean that the text file is a UTF-16 file (there are other
encodings of Unicode, e,g, UTF-8).

Any program can read such a file, and any program code convert it into any 8-bit
code page that contains the appropriate code points. The problem comes with display.

Converting your application to Unicode is the way to go. It's not as hard as you
think. The ANSI code page is almost dead ...
