Smita,
The "Heisei" era U+337B is a single character, and wcstombs (and
WideCharToMultiByte) generally returns a double-byte character 0x877E
for that (unless you specify compatibility decomposition, that is).
I think setting date format to gg yy/mm/dd will query the era string
from somewhere else in the system where "Heisei" era string is
represented with two double bytes (U+5E73 U+6210).

Hello,
Can anyone help me confirm if the era string character Ux337b translates
into two two-byte characters on NT? That is what NT Explorer seems to
display when iCalendarType is set to 3 in the Registry. The function
wcstombs with Ux337b returns a different double-byte character than what
NT Explorer displays when Control Panel date settings are set to gg
yy/mm/dd.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Smita
