Does anyone have any experience porting strings from 7- & 8-bit
languages to 16-bit languages like Kanji? Intuitively, I should be
using mblen(), mbtowc(), mbstowcs(), wctomb() and wcstombs().
All of the manuals that I have for this are very clear on the
function of these calls. However, it does not give me any clue as to
WHY I should use them... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
