The Serial package of the Advanced Tools Module provides an RWUString inserter and extractor interface to object streams.

To use this interface, include the header file RWObjectStreamI18n.h and then use operator<< or operator>> to shift RWUStrings in or out of compact object streams. The RWUString interface takes and produces UTF-16 encoded characters. The Streams package of the Advanced Tools Module and the Internationalization Module provide methods for converting to and from UTF-16 as shown in the next two sections.
