I have a UTF-8-encoded string. This string is first saved to a file and then sent via Apache to a process written in C++, which receives it using Curl.
How can I decode the string in the C++ process?

Decode to what? To unicode? Which platform? – Tutankhamen Aug 28 '12 at 15:58

What do you want to do with the string that makes you think you need a "decode" operation? – Mankarse Aug 28 '12 at 16:04

There is a very good article on CodeProject that shows how to read utf8 .Alternatively http://utfcpp.sourceforge.net/ has also manipulations to do it ( C++ & Boost: encode/decode UTF-8 ).
