I have a C# COM server which is consumed by a cpp client.

One of the C# methods returns a string.

In cpp the returned string is represented in Unicode (UTF-16), at least according to the memory view.

  1. Is this always the case with COM strings?
  2. Is there a way to use UTF-8 instead?
  3. I saw some code where strings were passed between cpp and c# as byte arrays. Is there any benefit in this?
