Q. How can I convert between UTF-8 and UTF-16 in Windows?
(Sometimes "UTF-16" is simply called "Unicode" in the Windows world)
A. These two functions do the trick:
int Utf8ToUnicode(LPCSTR szIn, LPWSTR szOut, const size_t sizeOut)
{
int page = CP_UTF8;
if (IsWindows9x()) page = CP_ACP; // Win95 can't handle UTF-8 so do ANSI
return MultiByteToWideChar(page, 0, szIn, -1, szOut, sizeOut);
}
int UnicodeToUtf8(LPCWSTR szIn, LPSTR szOut, const size_t sizeOut)
{
int page = CP_UTF8;
if (IsWindows9x()) page = CP_ACP;
return WideCharToMultiByte(page, 0, szIn, -1, szOut, sizeOut, NULL, NULL);
}
See other tips for checking if you are using Windows9x.
