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.

Hello
I hava a UTF8 string reading from TinyXML, I want convert to a Unicode string (wchar_t) for some reasons, How can convert it by boost?
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); -- Cory Nelson _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
