When you are using Boost.FileSystem.v3 you can imbue a locale with UTF-8 codecvt facet globally using. boost::path::imbue() Note path::imbue is static member function.

Hello,
I understand that the path class .native() member function's return type differs depending on the platform (wstring on windows, for example.) Is there a way to get the path as a utf-8 string regardless of the platform? Likewise, is there a way to construct a path object from a utf-8 string regardless of the platform?
