Are there any problems with translate(ShiftJisToUtf8("日本語"))?
I'd rather wait for compilers support u8 encoding prefix.
The problem of that code is we don't have the rule how to map shift-jis characters to UCS code points. It's not a problem providing the ShiftJisToUtf8 implementation, the
Mapping rule slightly differs in every libraries. That is, some shift-jis characters are mapped to different UCS code point in different libraries.
Actually, simply saying "shift-jis" is not right. There is no such encoding like "shift-jis". There are many shift-jis variants. Windows use CP932. Mac use MacJapanese. JIS(Japanese Industrial Standards) defined ISO-2022-JP standard. These are slightly different so mapping problem happens. And each libraries handles it in their own way. So it's like there is no THE consistent rule. All you need is to choose the library that is consistent with your
