Character Comparison

Unicode TasksMultibyte Character Set (MBCS) Tasks

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.
