[Boost-users] R: about UTF8 to UNICODE

From: Andrea Denzler (andrea_at_[hidden])

I'm using ICU (because I needed for boost regex to work with unicode):

UConverter *pConverterUTF8;
UErrorCode nUError;

// open converter
nUError = U_ZERO_ERROR;
pConverterUTF8=ucnv_open("utf-8",&nUError);

// do conversions
mystring = UnicodeString(utf8,strlen(utf8),pConverterUTF8,&nUError);

// close converter
ucnv_close(pConverterUTF8);

Handling Unicode has more to do than just conversion :(, but ICU offers many
functions.

Boost doesn't have anything to do this.  I've got some code here you can
use:

http://svn.int64.org/svnroot/int64/snips/unicode.hpp

std::string u8;
std::wstring wc;

unicode::transcode<unicode::utf8, unicode::wchar_encoding>(u8, wc);
