Hi Sunanda,

Which platform are you on? If you're on Windows with Visual Studio, I've personally had problems with it recognizing UTF-8 string literals like in the code you posted. I'd double-check what wname is actually what you think it is. On Windows, you can confirm whether the file can be opened by calling _wopen(wname, ...) and checking if you have a valid file.

The other idea is to ensure you have an error handler installed prior to calling TIFFOpenW() and checking to see what is the error generated by TIFFOpenW().

I am using TiffOpenW() to open a tiff file containing Japanese character.

Code snippet:

wchar_t *wname = L”C:/test/image名.tif”;
TIFF* tif = TIFFOpenW(wname, "r");

This function returns NULL. Please help me understand what type of path name (UTF-8 or UTF-16 (Unicode)) is it expecting.
