Typedef TText16

typedef unsigned short int TText16;

Support

Supported from 5.0

Description

16-bit unsigned character. Use instead of C++ wchar_t type because it is guaranteed to be unsigned. Use instead of TInt16 where the application is really for text rather than 8-bit arithmetic or binary quantities.

For most purposes, you should use TText rather than TText16. TText is mapped onto either TText8 or TText16 depending on whether a non-Unicode or Unicode variant is being built. Use TText16 only when you are dealing explicitly with 16-bit text, regardless of build.
