FGetStringTypeW, Unicode characters differ on XP & 2000   

Looking into a bug I discovered that the FGetStringTypeW function returns 
different values on the two OS.  In particular some characters are listed as 
ALPHA on one system but not the other. The most significant is 'ー', part of 
the string 'ニューヨーク' which is New York.
On XP the return value is 0x200, on 2000 0x110.
Is there a way to make the function return the same values regardless of the 
OS?

Thanks,

Chris

I assume you mean GetStringTypeW here? There is no FGetStringTypeW in 
Windows.

To answer the [modified] question -- not really, no. The underlying data 
store is what it is.
