Including the Unicode Library
The Unicode Library is implemented in a NetLinx Include file, UnicodeLib.axi, that must be included in
your program in order to access the Unicode functions. The Unicode Library is located in an Include file
located in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\AMXShare\AXIs directory. Because this location is the
default Include search path, you do not need to specify the directory in the include statement.
To include the Unicode Library to your program add these lines to your program:
(***********************************************************)
(* INCLUDE FILES GO BELOW *)
(***********************************************************)
#INCLUDE 'UnicodeLib.axi'
Defining a Unicode String Literal
To enter Unicode characters into your program, enclose the characters in single quotes, like you would
any other string, and wrap the string literal in the Unicode macro _WC. Here is an example:
_WC('Your string goes here')
