This code compiled OK under VS2013: std::string Unicode::utf16_to_utf8(std::u16string utf16_string) { std::wstring_convert<std::codecvt_utf8_utf16<char16_t>, char16_t> convert; retur...

C++11 introduces char16_t and char32_t to facilitate working with UTF-16- and UTF-32-encoded text strings. But the <iostream> library still only supports the implementation-defined wchar_t fo...

This is also related to char32_t and any intXX_t. The specification points out that: 2.14.3.2: The value of a char16_t literal containing a single c-char is equal to its ISO 10646 code point...

I'm buiding an API that allows me to fetch strings in various encodings, including utf8, utf16, utf32 and wchar_t (that may be utf32 or utf16 according to OS). New C++ standard had introduced new...
