 .PP
 When formatting a \fBTERMKEY_TYPE_UNICODE\fP key structure, this function uses the \fIutf8\fP member. If this member contains an empty string (i.e. its first character is 0) then this member will be prefilled by the function from the \fIcode.number\fP member. This can be convenient when the key structure is being constructed programatically by user code.
