You are right, this version works:
<code>
#include <glibmm.h>
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
// <edit>
setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
// </edit>
Glib::ustring ustr ( "hää?" );
try {
Glib::locale_from_utf8(ustr);
} catch (Glib::ConvertError& e) {
std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
</code>
Even
setlocale (LC_ALL, "de_DE.utf8")
works. Thank you Dodji, I did not know that setlocale is necessary.

"foo" works all the way, but "füü" will only if setlocale is called. As
far as I know this is caused by the hehavior of utf8 only to use more
than 8 Bits for an non-ASCII character. But I didn't know about
setlocale, until today ;)
I will google for it.
