StringFormat and UNICODE

If the string passed as a parameter is an ANSI string, the result will be an ANSI string.

If the string passed as a parameter is a UNICODE string, the result will be a UNICODE string.

Remark: If the result of StringFormat on an ANSI string is assigned to a UNICODE string (and vice versa), the conversion will be implicitly performed.

For more details, see Managing UNICODE.
