TOUNICODE(string, codepage)
| TOUNICODE | Returns a string value converted to Unicode using the encoding of the Codepage parameter |
| string | A string constant, variable, or string expression |

The TOUNICODE function returns a string value converted to Unicode using the encoding of the Codepage parameter. The second parameter allows for conversions to Unicode strings encoded for a different codepage than the current codepage in use by the OS.
The TOUNICODE function also allows to convert ANSI and Unicode strings to a character sequence encoded in UTF-8 by passing the value 65001 as the second parameter.
Return Data Type: Unicode string
example:
idname ustring(40)
UTFid ustring(40)
| CODE |
| idname = 'widget' |
| UTFid = TOUNICODE(idname, 65001) ! encoded to UTF8 |
