TText
represents a character in the natural
character width for the Symbian OS build. For Unicode builds, (i.e. from v5.1 onwards) this is 16 bits. For
non-Unicode builds, this is 8 bits.
TText8
is always available for build-independent
8-bit characters, and TText16
is always available for
build-independent 16-bit characters. TText
is mapped onto
either of these types, depending on the build.
TText
types are implemented as
TUint
s of the appropriate size. TText
should be used for representing characters, as a reminder to the
programmer.
The TChar
class wraps a character value and
provides a number of utility functions to manipulate it and to test its
properties, such as converting the character to uppercase and testing whether
it’s a control character.
