When I use ReadString to read TXT what contains Chinese characters in the Unicode enviroment, what I get is gibberish. I try to find some solutions, such as setlocale() and Change char to Unicode, but doesn't work. The development platform is vs2010 with windows 8. Any else I miss? Thanks for reply.

Solution 1

Because StdioFile only reads ANSI files.

There are articles for derived classes that handle that:

Read and Write Text Files in Unicode through CStdioFile[^]

CStdioFile-derived class for multibyte and Unicode reading and writing[^]

Hope it helps.
