How to write a std::string to a UTF-8 text file

Question

I just want to write some few simple lines to a text file in C++, but I want them to be encoded in UTF-8. What is the easiest and simple way to do so?

Answer 1

libiconv is a great library for all our encoding and decoding needs.

If you are using Windows you can use WideCharToMultiByte and specify that you want UTF8.
