The number of unicode characters in the string.

unicode

The string, in unicode characters.

Discussion

This data type is a string of up to 255 16-bit Unicode characters, with a preceding 16-bit length (number of characters). Note that only the first length characters have meaningful values; the remaining characters may be set to arbitrary values. A caller should always assume that the entire structure will be modified, even if the actual string length is less than 255.
