You can use std::mbstowcs and std::wcstombs (in <cstdlib>).

I see. But it doesn't look too elegant, does it, as one has to create an array to convert the characters into, and then initialise std::string or std::wstring with the results, right?

ICU provides some elegant classes (see http://www.icu-project.org/). But depending on what you want to do exactly it might be overkill. Boris
