thank you a lot,
im tryna convert wstring(utf16) <=> string(utf8), so i did a small fixes on your code.
here is it
// string (utf8) -> u16string -> wstring
wstring utf8_to_utf16(const string& utf8)
{
wstring_convert<codecvt_utf8_utf16<char16_t>,char16_t> convert;
u16string utf16 = convert.from_bytes(utf8);
wstring wstr(utf16.begin(), utf16.end());
return wstr;
}
// wstring -> u16string -> string (utf8)
string utf16_to_utf8(const wstring& utf16) {
u16string u16str(utf16.begin(), utf16.end());
wstring_convert<codecvt_utf8_utf16<char16_t>,char16_t> convert;
string utf8 = convert.to_bytes(u16str);
return utf8;
}
codecvt_utf8* with wstring_convert deprecated in C++17, removed in C++26
wstring(wchar_t) is utf-32 on linux.
It's in the standard library of cpp
