If you need to get ansi representation of text, use GetItemTextA() (if text

is Unicode, returned string will be converted to ansi; but this conversion

is not always lossless).

Similarly is with GetItemTextW() - it always returns Unicode string.

GetItemText() returns text "as is".

If this text is Unicode, it will return Unicode. In case of English text in

your example, it returns

"a\x0s\x0d\x0f\x0a\x0s\x0d\x0f\x0" (each Unicode character consists of two

bytes).

If you want to work with this text like with Unicode, be careful: it is not

finished with double-byte zero.
