Make sure your C++ component is not compiled for MBCS and is not trying to
interpret UTF-8 sequences as multi-byte.

Hi,

I have a question about C++ compilation and linking using Microsoft C++
compiler and linker that come with VS.NET 2003 installation.

Sometimes a program compiled and linked with the Language for Non-Unicode
Program option (Control Panel | Regional and Language Options | Advanced)
set
to Chinese (PRC) failed to parse Chinese characters stored in UTF-8
format,
resulting in garbled text. After the program is recompiled and linked with
the Language for Non-Unicode Program option set to English (United
States),
Chinese characters can be processed correctly without producing any
garbled
text.

Just wondering what difference the Language for Non-Unicode Program option
make when compiling and linking programs using Microsoft C++ compiler and
linker that come with VS.NET 2003 installation?

Thanks.
