This can be achieved quite simply by using the means provided by wxWindows.
Basicly, there are only a few things to watch out for:
+
\begin{itemize}
\item Character type ({\tt char} or {\tt wchar\_t})
\item Literal strings (i.e. {\tt "Hello, world!"} or {\tt '*'})
\subsection{Unicode support in wxWindows}

\begin{verbatim}

- wxString s = wxT("Hello, world!");

+ wxString s = T("Hello, world!");
int len = s.Len();
\end{verbatim}
\helpref{wxString}{wxstring} supports Unicode, i.e. it stores iether ANSI or
Unicode strings depending on the mode.

+Finally, there is a special {\tt T()} macro which should enclose all literal
strings in the program. As it's easy to see comparing the last fragment with
the one above, this macro expands to nothing in the (usual) ANSI mode and
prefixes {\tt 'L'} to its argument in the Unicode mode.
The important conclusion is that if you use {\tt wxChar} instead of
{\tt char}, avoid using C style strings and use {\tt wxString} instead and

Just let us state once again the rules:
