BIGENDIAN
Indicates that WIDECHAR data will be stored in bigendian format. For instance, the WIDECHAR value for the UTF-16 character '1' will be stored as '0031'x.
LITTLEENDIAN
Indicates that WIDECHAR data will be stored in littleendian format. For instance, the WIDECHAR value for the UTF-16 character '1' will be stored as '3100'x.

WX constants should always be specified in bigendian format. Thus the value '1' should always be specified as '0031'wx, even if under the WIDECHAR(LITTLEENDIAN) option, it is stored as '3100'x.

DEFAULT: WIDECHAR( LITTLEENDIAN )
