Hi Danny, I don't know how to LC environment variables map to code pages, but I can tell you a few other things : 1. UTF-8 is THE standard : Internet, default set up for the fast majority of Linux users etc. etc. 2. CP_UTF8 is NOT supported on all WinCE (Core) devices.
The solution is to not to use MultiByteToWideChar(). ConvertUTF.c & h supplied by unicode.org works well for me.
