Mapping Windows-1252 encoding to UTF8 in C

How do you progra开发者_如何学Gommatically convert a C-string with encoding Windows-1252 (a.k.a. CP1252) to UTF8?

---

On Windows? First call MultiByteToWideChar and then WideCharToMultiByte.

On a Mac or Linux: call iconv_open and then iconv as needed.

In general: incorporate the ICU4C library.

You need to use a code page conversion, which is language/paltform specific.

If you want to implement it: Windows-1252 on Wikipedia (there is a link to the conversion table)

Some solutions:

• Windows: MultiByteToWideChar
• python: decode()
• Linux: libiconv (just one of the many)

etc...
