Is Widows mobile always unicode

hi,

When just writing a application for my mobile phone , I got a doubt is
there any possibility windows mobile program is Non-Unicode.

I had fully coded unicode.But i am sure my program will not work if
#define _UNICODE is not defined.

A sample of my code follows..
int pons_Evaluate(LPCTSTR lpszPath)
{
DWORD dwFileAttributes = 0;
dwFileAttributes = GetFileAttributes(lpszPath);
.
.
// in the middle of my prog
int pathLen = lstrlen(lpsPath); //
MessageBox(hWnd1,L"Evaluated",L"Status",MB_OK);//only works for
unicode

.
}

So i want to know is windows mobile always unicode..

Windows CE in general is only Unicode.

In addition to Chris's answer, if you need ASCII for working with a serial
device, perhaps, you can convert your strings to data. But everything that
goes into a visual control, all file names, etc., are indeed Unicode.
