However all examples use UTF-8 encoding by default, so wide character examples would not work under MSVC as-is. In order to force it to treat source files as UTF-8 you need to convert the files to UTF-8 with BOM, which can be done easily by re-saving them from Notepad, which adds a BOM to UTF-8 files by default. </p> </div></div><!-- contents --> </div><!-- doc-content --> <li class="footer"> © Copyright 2009-2012 Artyom Beilis, Distributed under the <a href="http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt">Boost Software License</a>, Version 1.0. </li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
