  11     wxT() is a macro which can be used with character and string literals (in other
  12     words, @c 'x' or @c "foo") to automatically convert them to Unicode in
  13     Unicode build configuration. Please see the
  14     @ref overview_unicode "Unicode overview" for more information.
  15
  16     This macro is simply returns the value passed to it without changes in ASCII
  17     build. In fact, its definition is:
  18
  19     @code
  20     #ifdef UNICODE
  21     #define wxT(x) L ## x
  22     #else // !Unicode
  23     #define wxT(x) x
  24     #endif
  25     @endcode

  34     wxS is macro which can be used with character and string literals to either
  35     convert them to wide characters or strings in @c wchar_t-based Unicode
  36     builds or keep them unchanged in UTF-8 builds. The use of this macro is
  37     optional as the translation will always be done at run-time even if there is a
  38     mismatch between the kind of the literal used and wxStringCharType used in the
  39     current build, but using it can be beneficial in performance-sensitive code to
  40     do the conversion at compile-time instead.
