===

Steps: Overview:

 1. -Get your Russian text

     1. -E.g.

          Copy it from a Russian text Internet web page

 2. -Paste it in Notepad

 3. -Save it as 'Unicode' type

     1. -E.g.

          ddd.txt

 4. -Open that file in BBCBASIC

 5. -Print it byte after byte

 6. -E.g. create the following program:

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------

xScreenI% = 500
yScreenI% = 10
:
*FONT Arial Unicode MS, 16
:
fileName$ = "ddd.txt"
:
fileP% = OPENIN( fileName$ )
:
byteI% = BGET#( fileP% )
:
PRINT; byteI%
:
IF ( NOT ( byteI% = 255 ) ) THEN
 PRINT fileName$ + " " + "is not a Unicode file, it should start with byte 255"
ENDIF
:
byteI% = BGET#( fileP% )
:
PRINT; byteI%
:
IF ( NOT ( byteI% = 254 ) ) THEN
 PRINT fileName$ + " " + "is not a Unicode file, it should be byte 254"
ENDIF
:
PRINT "------------------------------------"
:
WHILE NOT EOF# fileP%
 :
 byte1I% = BGET#( fileP% )
 byte2I% = BGET#( fileP% )
 :
 PRINT "Unicode character:"
 PRINT "byte1 (decimal) = "; byte1I%
 PRINT "byte2 (decimal) = "; byte2I%
 PRINT
 PRINT "byte1 (hexadecimal) = "; STR$~( byte1I% )
 PRINT "byte2 (hexadecimal) = "; STR$~( byte2I% )
 PRINT
 PRINT "location:"
 PRINT
 PRINT "row = "; " "; ( byte1I% DIV 16 )
 PRINT "column = "; " "; ( byte1I% MOD 16 )
 PRINT "page = "; " "; ( byte2I% )
 PRINT "------------------------------------"
 :
 PROCUnicode( byte1I%, byte2I%, xScreenI%, yScreenI% )
 :
 REPEAT UNTIL GET
 :
ENDWHILE
:
END
:
:
:
DEF PROCUnicode( byte1I%, byte2I%, xScreenI%, yScreenI% )
LOCAL uniCode$
uniCode$ = CHR$( byte1I% ) + CHR$( byte2I% )
SYS "TextOutW", @memhdc%, xScreenI%, yScreenI%, uniCode$, LEN( uniCode$ ) / 2
SYS "InvalidateRect", @hwnd%, 0, 0
ENDPROC
:

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------

 7. -That will show a screen output similar to the following:

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------


255
254                                              M <- Russian character representation
----------------------------
255
254
------------------------------------
Unicode character:
byte1 (decimal) = 60
byte2 (decimal) = 4

byte1 (hexadecimal) = 3C
byte2 (hexadecimal) = 4

location:

row =  3
column =  12
page =  4
------------------------------------

----------------------------

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------
