[unixODBC-dev] Unicode support

[SHANKAR Uma]

Thanks Nick for the quick response. I did not realize that about
wchar_t's. Since I am not a regular unix developer, I have a couple of
further questions.
 Are there other constructs that I could use for wide-chars conversions
that would be more portable between both windows and unix? I will try
out iconv like you suggest as well.

wchat_t are 4 bit on unix, unixODBC uses the same 16 bit unicode as on 
windows. Try using iconv to convert to UCS-2
