## UnicodeEncoding class


Unicode encoding. Objects of this class should only be allocated using [System::MakeObject()](../../system/makeobject/) function. Never create instance of this type on stack or using operator new, as it will result in runtime errors and/or assertion faults. Always wrap this class into [System::SmartPtr](../../system/smartptr/) pointer and use this pointer to pass it to functions as argument.

```cpp
class UnicodeEncoding : public System::Text::ICUEncoding
```

## Methods

| Method | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [Clone](./clone/)() override | Clones encoding object. |
| [Equals](./equals/)(SharedPtr\<Object\>) override | Compares encodings. |
| [GetHashCode](./gethashcode/)() const override | Hashes encoding. |
| [GetMaxByteCount](./getmaxbytecount/)(int) override | Get the maximum number of bytes needed to encode a specified number of characters. |
| [GetMaxCharCount](./getmaxcharcount/)(int) override | Get the maximum number of characters needed to decode a specified number of bytes. |
| [GetPreamble](./getpreamble/)() override | Returns a sequence of bytes that denotes the encoding (e. g. BOM). |
| [operator==](./operator==/)(const UnicodeEncoding\&) const | Compares encodings by codepages and flags. |
| [UnicodeEncoding](./unicodeencoding/)() | Constructor. |
| [UnicodeEncoding](./unicodeencoding/)(bool, bool) | Constructor. |
| [UnicodeEncoding](./unicodeencoding/)(bool, bool, bool) | Constructor. |
