Dear Will, Making the assumption for the moment that your platform's wchar_t is already Unicode, the first problem is that it almost certainly is either UTF-16 or UTF-32. As a result, the "hex representation" will be of that encoding and not of your locale's encoding (UTF-8 in this case).
If you want to see the locale encoding, you will need to call wctombs() and then iterate across the char* you get back from that.
