C++ unicode file io

Question

I need a file io library that can give my program a utf-16 (little endian) interface, but can handle files in other encodings, mainly ascii(input only), utf-8, utf-16, utf-32/uc

Answer 1

UTF8-CPP gives you conversion between UTF-8, 16 and 32. Very nice and light library.

About ICU, some comments by the UTF8-CPP creator :

ICU Library. It is very powerful, complete, feature-rich, mature, and widely used. Also big, intrusive, non-generic, and doesn't play well with the Standard Library. I definitelly recommend looking at ICU even if you don't plan to use it.
