I've read the thread "Unicode? Help!" and followed the instructions. However
when trying to output a widechar with


#define UNICODE


....


    wc[0]=21016;
    wc[1]=0;
    Form1->Canvas->TextOutW(30, 130, wc);


I always just get a question mark plotted. The next I tried was


    HDC hdc = GetDC(0);
    TextOutW(hdc, 30, 230, wc, 1);
    RECT r={ 30, 300, 600, 400 };
    ExtTextOutW (hdc, 30, 330, ETO_OPAQUE | ETO_GLYPH_INDEX , &r, wc, 1, 0);

Both resulted in a bold "|".


Finally I copied the widechar to the clipboard and pasted it to MS Excel.
Here it showed as intended as a Chinese character.


CONCLUSION: does Borland C++ builder not support the output of UNICODE
characters or do I do something wrong or do I need to do something in
addition?


Soon help is very much appreciated!
