MKD Syntax

A wchar_t is an unsigned integer value. Its allowed value range is 0 to 65535 (16-bit value). A wchar_t is never directly written to the file, it must be converted to UTF-8 and written as a sequence of 1 to 4 standard 8-bit characters.

Since MKD files always use the 8-bit UTF-8 characters set (since Version 2019.1) or the 8-bit Ansi character set (until Version 2019.0), texts in those files are represented as an 8-bit character string delimited by the character " (Ansi 34). To be able to use the character '"' inside of texts, the standard C++ text encoding is used: The character " is to be replaced by \" (Ansi 92 34), a single \ (Ansi 92) by \\ (Ansi 92 92). This has to be decoded when reading texts from MKD files!
