Parameter

Description

Elem

The wide-character element type.

Maxcode

Remarks

This template class converts between wide characters encoded as UCS-2 or UCS-4 and a byte stream encoded as UTF-16LE, if Mode & little_endian, or UTF-16BE otherwise.

The byte stream should be written to a binary file; it can be corrupted if written to a text file.
