Hello, i have intensively searched the web for a solution on the following problem, but could not find any indication for it.
The following code does basicelly nothing else then reading in a file on single char basis and writing it to a file again. The input file is encoded as UTF-8 as well as the output file i want to create. I read in the characters by using getc(). However i still get incorrect results in my output-file. Does anybody know of mistakes i do when combining getc() with reading unicode files? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance!
