Use the following tips:

Comparing a known lead byte with an ASCII character works correctly:
```
if( *sz1 == 'A' )
```
Comparing two unknown characters requires the use of one of the macros defined in MBSTRING.H:
```
if( !_mbccmp( sz1, sz2) )
```
This ensures that both bytes of a double-byte character are compared for equality.
