    What do you mean by "In Multibyte character set"?

    Unless you're clear on what you mean by that, your question is meaningless.
    Right 98% of the time, and don't care about the other 3%.

    If I seem grumpy or unhelpful in reply to you, or tell you you need to demonstrate more effort before you can expect help, it is likely you deserve it. Suck it up, Buttercup, and read this, this, and this before posting again.

    MING-W compiler:

    #include <tchar.h>
    ...
    ...
    #define _UNICODE
    _T("World"); // L"World" -> wchar_t
    #undef _UNICODE
    _T("World"); // "World" -> char

    Visual C++ compiler:
