Re: UNICODE to MBCS

I posted this question on comp.programming but no replies. Maybe this
group can better answer:

Hi,

I'm struggling with trying to understand how MBCS works. The main
question I have with regards to MBCS is why is it that when I set my
regional settings on my windows machine to Chinese I am able to read
and use Japanese characters and if I set my regional settings to
Japanese I can read some but not all of the Chinese characters. Do the
chinese code pages include the Japanese character set?

Furthermore I'm able to read and use Russian characters as well when
I'm in either Chinese or Japanese. When I switch back to english the
russian, chinese, and japanese characters are all lost and appear as ?.

Anyone want to help me out?

Regards,
Matt
