How can I get the list of UTF-8 files in a UTF-8 directory using C or C++?

Question

I ended up in here

How can I get the list of files in a directory using C or C++?

I am afraid none of the codes support UTF-8. I modified Bad's code a bit to accept the UTF-8 directory.

//#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 3
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
#include <boost/filesystem/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost::filesystem;

int main()
{
    boost::filesystem::detail::utf8_codecvt_facet utf8;
    boost::filesystem::path p;
    p.assign(u8"C:\\", utf8);

    for (auto i = directory_iterator(p); i != directory_iterator(); i++)
    {
        if (!is_directory(i->path())) //we eliminate directories
        {
            cout << u8"Fil:" + i-> path().filename().string() << endl;
        }
        else
        {
            cout << u8"Dir:" + i-> path().filename().string() << endl;
        }
    }
}

But I don't know how to get the UTF-8 files output.

Because it's the right thing to do. All character data should be UTF-8, all the time. — R.. GitHub STOP HELPING ICE, Mar 02 '17 at 00:41

Sorry for spamming the tag. Because I am still a newbie, I don't know how to use the correct tag so I just copied the original post tags, including tag c, plus the utf8. Except that I cannot think of anything. — Mark09, Mar 02 '17 at 03:53
