IsUnicode Function

Overview

The IsUnicode function tests a string for Unicode ranged characters including UTF-8 characters.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

boolean = IsUnicode ( string data | wstring data );

Parameters

data

A string or wstring to test as UTF-8 and Unicode, respectively.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if the string matches various conditions for Unicode (see the Remarks section) or FALSE if it does not.

Remarks

The IsUnicode function scans the incoming data for characters above 0x00FF in value or within the Unicode character range.

For 8-bit strings, the string is decoded as UTF character by character until a character value is larger than 0x00FF is located. If a UTF character sequence is in error or not recognized, it is ignored.
