C++ Non ASCII letters

Question

How do i loop through the letters of a string when it has non ASCII charaters? This works on Windows!

for (int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++)
{
    std::cout

Try using std::wstring. The encoding used isn't supported by the standard as far as I know, so I wouldn't save these contents to a file without a library that handles a specific format. of some sort. It supports multi-byte characters so you can use letters and symbols not supported by ASCII.

#include 
#include 

int main()
{
    std::wstring text = L"áéíóú";

    for (int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++)
        std::wcout << text[i];

    std::wcout << text.length() << std::endl;
}
