Hi Henry,
VO does not uses Unicode.
In the VO System Library there are two functions that are not in the
help:
UTF82Ansi() and Ansi2UTF8()
FUNCTION Ansi2UTF8(cString AS STRING) AS STRING
RETURN ConvertFromCodePageToCodePage(cString, CP_ACP, CP_UTF8)
FUNCTION Utf82Ansi(cString AS STRING) AS STRING
RETURN ConvertFromCodePageToCodePage(cString, CP_UTF8, CP_ACP)
HTH
