How does it work?

UniFEP's Unicode environment uses UTF-8-encoded Unicode text. UTF-8 is compatible with ASCII: Any ASCII text will display unchanged with UniFEP.

If your application is started in the Unicode environment, this has two effects on your program:

Text rendering will assume that the text is encoded in UTF-8 (but with some restrictions).
Text controls derived from CEikEdwin use UniFEP's front end processor for input processing. The cursor moves through UTF-8 text correctly (and will skip characters if the encoding is not UTF-8).

This means that your application will automatically allow users to enter data in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc. If you wish, you can have menus and dialogs in these languages as well.
