What is a ustring?

What is a 'ustring' and how does it differ from a regular string?

Context: I'm working with a COM object from actxserver, but I'm having trouble passing commands using one of the methods. When I list the description of the method, it gives 'int32 genCmd(handle, ustring, ustring)'.

This doesn't seem to be specific to my particular setup, since in the Matlab example on changing row heights in excel spreadsheets , it lists all the associated methods in a similar situation. Some variables are listed as 'ustring' and others as 'string'.

I assume you mean a Unicode string, see: http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/ustring_8h.html
