There are two very simple ways to do it: // // 1. Open file with Notepad and save it from there. It would convert // it to file with BOM. // 2. In Visual Studio go File->Advances Save Options... and select // Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) Codepage 65001 // // Note: once converted to UTF-8 with BOM, this source code would not // compile with other compilers, because no-one uses BOM with UTF-8 today // because it is absolutely meaningless in context of UTF-8. // // ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! // #include #include #include int main() { if(boost::locale::localization_backend_manager::global().get_all_backends().at(0) != "icu") std::wcout << L"Need ICU support for this example!\nConversion below will likely be wrong!\n"; // Create system default locale boost::locale::generator gen; std::locale loc = gen(""); std::locale::global(loc); std::wcout.imbue(loc); // This is needed to prevent the C stdio library from // converting strings to narrow on some platforms std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false); std::wcout << L"Correct case conversion can't be done by simple, character by character conversion\n"; std::wcout << L"because case conversion is context sensitive and not a 1-to-1 conversion.\n"; std::wcout << L"For example:\n"; const std::wstring gruessen(L"grüßen"); std::wcout << L" German " << gruessen << " would be incorrectly converted to " << boost::to_upper_copy(gruessen); std::wcout << ", while Boost.Locale converts it to " << boost::locale::to_upper(gruessen) << std::endl << L" where ß is replaced with SS.\n"; const std::wstring greek(L"ὈΔΥΣΣΕΎΣ"); std::wcout << L" Greek " << greek << " would be incorrectly converted to " << boost::to_lower_copy(greek); std::wcout << ", while Boost.Locale correctly converts it to " << boost::locale::to_lower(greek) << std::endl << L" where Σ is converted to σ or to ς, according to position in the word.\n"; std::wcout << L"Such type of conversion just can't be done using std::toupper/boost::to_upper* that work on character " L"by character base.\n" L"Also std::toupper is not fully applicable when working with variable character length like UTF-8 or UTF-16\n" L"limiting the correct behavior to BMP or ASCII only\n"; } // boostinspect:noascii
