How to convert Big5 encoded characters to Unicode in VC++

Question

I am trying to convert a Big5 encoded string received from another application to Unicode string and then display the Chinese characters in a browser. The dll which receives the Big5 character is a COM dll and is build using MBCS configuration. I cannot afford converting the dll to use Unicode Character Set configuration as it will be a big task for me.

Thanks in advance!!!

Answer 1

Use MultiByteToWideChar() with code page 950 (for Big5).
