Returns the wide-character representation of the numeric or string expression.

WStr converts numeric variables to their wide-character string representation. It is the wide-character equivalent to Str.

WStr also converts ASCII character strings to Unicode character strings. If a wide-character string is given, that string is returned unmodified.
