What does"_T" means in VC++

Hi!
So the whole question is in the subject. Very often in Vc++ I can see _T. What does it mean??

Thanks for your response

It's for compatibility, so you can switch between using ANSI and Unicode without having to change all of your string literals. This article explains it fairly well:
