What is the basis of this expectation, other than wishful thinking? Again, if you need to convert specifically between UTF-16 and UTF-8, there are API functions that are documented to do that, and they do work. They are WideCharToMultiByte and MultiByteToWideChar. wcstombs and mbstowcs are not documented to do that, and, quite unsurprisingly, they don't work for that. -- Igor Tandetnik
