 I have an app that sends chars to the active app that works fine
for most people, but someone from Thailand who wants to insert
Chinese characters just sent me the following message:

 "Your application does not work in my English version of WinXP.
All languages appear gibberish except for Symbols since two files,
chars.txt and original-chars.txt are created and saved in ANSI
format instead of Unicode encoding".

 I have two questions:

 1) Where can I read up on Unicode? Google gives hundreds of hits
about individual programming issues but I can't find anything that
sums up what it is and where and how it is used. Any pointers will
be appreciated.

 2) I vaguely remember from online reading that there is a
relationship between Unicode and WideChars. If this is true, can I
use Unicode in Delphi7 to send WideChars to any application in the
same way I'm sending Chars now? Sorry if this is a silly question,
but I don't know enough right now to make it more intelligent.
