Hi,
your script is wrong
as the $single_r_hacek is not a "Binary" when use in BinaryToString()
at least it must be StringToBinary(ChrW(0x99C5))

after that the write to file have to be changed too

if with your script try triple you get wrong result too.

You were trying to feed UTF8 hex to wrong function(s).

; CW() is a Unicode-aware ConsoleWrite()
Local $single_r_hacek = ChrW(0x159) ; UTF16-LE code ř U+0159 LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH CARON, NOT in ANSI
CW($single_r_hacek & @TAB & StringLen($single_r_hacek))
MsgBox(0, "", $single_r_hacek)

; making it simpler
$single_r_hacek = 'ř'
CW($single_r_hacek & @TAB & StringLen($single_r_hacek))
MsgBox(0, "", $single_r_hacek)

Thanks,

I expected

$single_r_hacek = 0x99C5

to return a Binary, but Binary() is required to do so:

$single_r_hacek = 0x99C5
ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($single_r_hacek)) ; shows Int32, 4 bytes, final 00 marking EOT,

hence StringLen returned 3.

$single_r_hacek = Binary("0xC599")
ConsoleWrite(VarGetType($single_r_hacek)) ; shows Binary

$UTF8_single_r_hacek = BinaryToString($single_r_hacek, 4)
ConsoleWrite(StringLen($UTF8_single_r_hacek)) ; correct output 1
