my_utf8_string.append(
    std::istream_iterator<char>(f), std::istream_iterator<char>() );

is the proper spelling. Or, if you prefer,

my_utf8_string.insert( my_utf8_string.end(),
    std::istream_iterator<char>(f), std::istream_iterator<char>() );

Character by character push_back loops just aren't cool.
