Description

CnvUtfConverter class provides static methods for converting 16-bit Unicode (UCS-2) descriptors to 8-bit (UTF-8) format, and vice versa.

Solution

 #include <utf.h>    // link against charconv.lib
 
 // Copy data from srcBuf16 to destBuf8
 CnvUtfConverter::ConvertFromUnicodeToUtf8( destBuf8, srcBuf16 );
 
 // Copy data from srcBuf8 to destBuf16
 CnvUtfConverter::ConvertToUnicodeFromUtf8( destBuf16, srcBuf8 );
