/**
* Function GetChars
* returns a wxChar* to the actual wxChar* data within a wxString, and is
* helpful for passing strings to wxString::Printf() and wxString::Format().
* It can also be passed a UTF8 parameter which will be converted to wxString
* by the compiler.
* <p>
* Example: wxString::Format( wxT( "%s" ), GetChars( UTF( "some text" ) ) );
* <p>
* When wxWidgets is properly built for KiCad, a const wxChar* points to either:
* <ul>
* <li> 32 bit unicode characters on linux/OSX or </li>
* <li> 16 bit UTF16 characters on windows. </li>
* </ul>
* Note that you cannot pass 8 bit strings to wxString::Format() or Printf() so
this
* is a useful conversion function to wxChar*, which is needed by
wxString::Format().
*
* @return const wxChar* - a pointer to the UNICODE or UTF16 (on windows) text.
