Hi,
There is a string in unicode. The length of Latin characters is 1 byte, the length of characters of other code pages is 2 bytes.
How to get an array of characters of this string ?

Dear Yuri,
Please try:
? WideToStr( cUnicode )
This is a UTF8 encoded string.
You can use HB_UTF8LEN( cString ) to find the number of characters (not bytes) and HB_UTF8SUBSTR( cString, n, 1 ) to get the nth character (not byte)
Example:
Let us take a sample string in Hex: "41C39CC49EE0B095".
This is displayed as : AÜĞక

  local nChars, n
  local aChars := {}
  ? cString // --> AÜĞక
  ? "Length in Bytes : ", Len( cString ) // --> 8
  ? "Length in Chars : ", nChars := HB_UTF8LEN( cString ) --> 4
  for n := 1 to nChars
   aAdd( aChars, HB_UTF8SUBSTR( cString, n, 1 ) )
  next
  XBROWSER aChars // { "A", "Ü", "Ğ", "క" }
  AEval( aChars, { |c,i| aChars[ i ] := { c, STRTOHEX( c ), Len( c ) } } )
  XBROWSER aChars SETUP oBrw:cHeaders := { "CHAR","HEX","BYTES" }
return nilRegards

Thank you, I will definitely use it!
For me, these two sources are helpful regarding UTF8:
1. 3.5 Codepage API - UTF8 and code page functions built into Harbour: http://www.kresin.ru/en/hrbfaq_3.html#Doc5
2. Unicode conversion functions for Harbour. http://www.hmgextended.com/files/CONTRIB/UnicodeConvert.prg unfortunately no longer online :(
Maybe someone can help 8) :wink:
