Class System.CATUnicodeString

CATUnicodeString
 

public class CATUnicodeString

Class to use for language meaningful character strings.
Role: CATUnicodeString must be used whenever a character string is needed, and that is either seen, entered, or manipulated by the end user. In this way, the client application is shielded from implementation details regarding language, locale, bytecoding of characters, and so forth. Client applications thus become portable since they can handle character strings expressed in any language.

For other character strings, not seen by the user but internally manipulated by the client application, the CATString class is required, instead of the raw type char* you should never use.
