Synopsis:
    #include <mbstring.h>
    unsigned int _mbbtombc( unsigned int ch );

Description:
    The _mbbtombc function returns the double-byte character equivalent to
    the single-byte character ch.  The single-byte character must be in the
    range 0x20 through 0x7E or 0xA1 through 0xDF.

    Note:  This function was called  hantozen in earlier versions.

Returns:
    The _mbbtombc function returns ch if there is no equivalent double-byte
    character; otherwise _mbbtombc returns a double-byte character.


Example:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <mbctype.h>
    #include <mbstring.h>

    char alphabet[] = {
        "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    };

    void main()
      {
        int             i;
        unsigned short  c;

        _setmbcp( 932 );
        for( i = 0; i < sizeof( alphabet ) - 1; i++ ) {
          c = _mbbtombc( alphabet[ i ] );
          printf( "%c%c", c>>8, c );
        }
        printf( "\n" );
      }

    produces the following:

    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
