  As not all platforms supported by wxWidgets support Unicode (fully) yet, in
  many cases it is unwise to write a program which can only work in Unicode
  environment. A better solution is to write programs in such way that they may
  be compiled either in ANSI (traditional) mode or in the Unicode one.
+
  This can be achieved quite simply by using the means provided by wxWidgets.
  Basically, there are only a few things to watch out for:
 
 
-  Character type (@c char or @c wchar_t)
-  Literal strings (i.e. @c "Hello, world!" or @c '*')
-  String functions (@c strlen(), @c strcpy(), ...)
-  Special preprocessor tokens (@c __FILE__, @c __DATE__

  strings but it is more likely that Unicode strings are wanted in the Unicode
  build. wxWidgets provides the macros @c __TFILE__, @c __TDATE__

  they produce ANSI strings in ANSI build and Unicode ones in the Unicode build.

  the Unicode and ANSI builds and allow us to avoid using conditional
  compilation in the program itself.

  We have a @c wxChar type which maps either on @c char or @c wchar_t
  depending on the mode in which program is being compiled. There is no need for
  a separate type for strings though, because the standard
  #wxString supports Unicode, i.e. it stores either ANSI or
  Unicode strings depending on the compile mode.
+
  Finally, there is a special #wxT() macro which should enclose all
  literal strings in the program. As it is easy to see comparing the last
  fragment with the one above, this macro expands to nothing in the (usual) ANSI
  mode and prefixes @c 'L' to its argument in the Unicode mode.
+
  The important conclusion is that if you use @c wxChar instead of
  @c char, avoid using C style strings and use @c wxString instead and
  don't forget to enclose all string literals inside #wxT() macro, your
  program automatically becomes (almost) Unicode compliant!

  Just let us state once again the rules:

-  Always use @c wxChar instead of @c char
-  Always enclose literal string constants in #wxT() macro

  wxWidgets macro #_() does it, for example, so there is no
  need for @c wxT() in this case) or you intend to pass the constant directly
  to an external function which doesn't accept wide-character strings.
