Where Multibyte Characters are Supported
This and related pages summarize the national language support (NLS) specific to IBM VisualAge C++.
Note: You must specify the -qmbcs option to use multibyte characters anywhere in your program.
Support for multibyte characters includes support for wide characters. Generally, wide characters are permitted anywhere multibyte characters are, but they are incompatible with multibyte characters in the same string because their bit patterns differ. Wherever permitted, you can mix single-byte and multibyte characters in the same string. See Restrictions for more information.
