Currently Boost.Ustr provides limited support towards I/O. Due to portability issues I think it is very hard for Boost.Ustr alone to solve problems such as printing Unicode strings to the screen.

On Windows, you can use WriteConsoleW() with GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE). I have no clue how this will behave if your stdlib buffers output. In VC++ specifically (2005 and up) you can do _setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_U16TEXT), and wprintf() and wcout will behave properly for all Unicode text. You still need to set the console's font to one supporting Unicode glyphs, though. -- Cory Nelson http://int64.org
