Ask for Help (v2) • Re: how to display unicode chars returned from DllCall

CODE:

 output := DllCall("libs\functions.dll\displayHello", "Cdecl wStr") 
OutputDebug("DllCall Output, now it is correct: " output)

CODE:

DllCall Output, now it is correct: á à ả ì í

CODE:

#include <Windows.h>
extern "C"
{
    __declspec(dllexport) const wchar_t *displayHello()
    {
        
        const char *originalString = "á à ả ì í";    
        // convert to utf16 before calling DLL from AHK
        int requiredBufferSize = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, originalString, -1, NULL, 0);
        
        wchar_t *utf16String = new wchar_t[requiredBufferSize];

        MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, originalString, -1, utf16String, requiredBufferSize);

        return utf16String;
    }
}
