Yes, but when I set msform20textbox.text to it, it didn't display it properly. I am talking about Chinese UTF-8 characters. I noticed that if I shelled to command prompt, CLIP the Unicode string to clipboard, back to VFP 6, then msform20textbox.paste(), the textbox could display the UTF-8 codes correctly!

Does VFP 6 converts any UTF8 string to a regular ANSI string automatically, making it impossible to use the raw binary values? > To be honest, you are probably better learning a Unicode aware language! > Dot net & Java use UTF16 internally for all strings. Switching to a new language could be hard for a middle-aged person like me. I don't think my brain is gifted to learn news things. Another solution is to buy VFP 9 (for my little freeware project). But I am unable to find a shop that has it. Lastly, I might pay someone to re-write my little project in VB or C# for me. Of course, I will buy the source codes as well. :) -- .~.
