In binary level, this is same.
What should we do? Using string literal with no prefix is practically dangerous.
You should do following. 1. Do not include direct localized text to sources, that is what localization system for. 2. If you have to then use UTF-8 in the sources that it would remain UTF-8 for char * strings as well and would be handled correctly for L"..." prefixes. 3. When you use MSVC add UTF-8 BOM (even thou it is useless but this is the way MSVC distinguishes between local encodings and UTF-8) Bad but this is reality. In fact almost all Unit tests in Boost.Locale use inline UTF-8 and believe me, it made my life significantly simpler. Artyom
