From BIFF8 on, strings are always stored using UTF-16LE text encoding. The
character array is a sequence of 16-bit values4. Additionally it is
possible to use a compressed format, which omits the high bytes of all
characters, if they are all zero.
The following tables describe the standard format of the entire string, but
in many records the strings differ from this format. This will be mentioned
separately. It is possible (but not required) to store Rich-Text formatting
information and Asian phonetic information inside a Unicode string. This
results in four different ways to store a string. The character array
is not zero-terminated.
The string consists of the character count (as usual an 8-bit value or
a 16-bit value), option flags, the character array and optional formatting
information. If the string is empty, sometimes the option flags field will
not occur. This is mentioned at the respective place.
Offset Size Contents
0 1 or 2 Length of the string (character count, ln)
1 or 2 1 Option flags:
Bit Mask Contents
0 01H Character compression (ccompr):
0 = Compressed (8-bit characters)
1 = Uncompressed (16-bit characters)
2 04H Asian phonetic settings (phonetic):
0 = Does not contain Asian phonetic settings
1 = Contains Asian phonetic settings
3 08H Rich-Text settings (richtext):
0 = Does not contain Rich-Text settings
1 = Contains Rich-Text settings
[2 or 3] 2 (optional, only if richtext=1) Number of Rich-Text formatting runs (rt)
[var.] 4 (optional, only if phonetic=1) Size of Asian phonetic settings block (in bytes, sz)
var. ln or
2·ln Character array (8-bit characters or 16-bit characters, dependent on ccompr)
[var.] 4·rt (optional, only if richtext=1) List of rt formatting runs
[var.] sz (optional, only if phonetic=1) Asian Phonetic Settings Block
