| GetStringScripts |
Provides a list of scripts used in the specified Unicode string. |
| GetSystemDefaultLocaleName |
Retrieves the system default locale name.
Note The application should call this function in preference to GetSystemDefaultLCID if designed to run only on Windows Vista and later.
|
| GetUserDefaultLocaleName |
Retrieves the system’s default locale name. |

| IdnToAscii |
Converts an internationalized domain name (IDN) or another internationalized label to a Unicode (wide character) representation of the ASCII string that represents the name in the Punycode transfer encoding syntax.
Caution This function implements the RFC 3490: Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) standard algorithm for converting an IDN to Punycode. The standard introduces some security issues. One issue is that glyphs representing certain characters from different scripts might appear similar or even identical. For example, in many fonts, Cyrillic lowercase A (“а”) is indistinguishable from Latin lowercase A (“a”). There is no way to tell visually that “example.com” and “exаmple.com” are two different domain names, one with a Latin lowercase A in the name, the other with a Cyrillic lowercase A. For more information about IDN-related security concerns, see Handling Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).
|
| IdnToNameprepUnicode |
Converts an internationalized domain name (IDN) or another internationalized label to the NamePrep form specified by Network Working Group RFC 3491, but does not perform the additional conversion to Punycode. For more information and links to related draft standards, see Handling Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). |
| IdnToUnicode |
Converts the Punycode form of an internationalized domain name (IDN) or another internationalized label to the normal Unicode UTF-16 encoding syntax.
Caution This function implements the RFC 3490: Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) standard algorithms for the Punycode encoding of Unicode. The standard introduces some security issues. One issue is that glyphs representing certain characters from different scripts might appear similar or even identical.
