You should let Windows do all the hard work for you at the process boundaries. Compile the command line utility in 'unicode mode' (#define UNICODE command line equivalent), which gets you an API which just gives you UTF16. To get your command line arguments in UTF16, use int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR *argv[]) instead of the conventional main(), which will expand to the right thing depending whether UNICODE is defined. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4t912wf5(v=VS.71).aspx Convert the arguments using WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, ...) and MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, ...) to get your internal UTF8 representation. To get the output right, call SetConsoleOutputCP(CP_UTF8) and write UTF8 to stdout. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686036(VS.85).aspx (Use above with caution -- my Windows programming memory is a little rusty.)
