std::codecvt_utf8_utf16 is a std::codecvt facet which encapsulates conversion between a UTF-8 encoded byte string and UTF-16 encoded character string. If Elem is a 32-bit type, one UTF-16 codepoint will be stored in each 32-bit character of the output sequence. This codecvt facet can be used to read and write UTF-8 files, both text and binary.
Template Parameters
| Elem | - | either char16_t, char32_t, or wchar_t |
| Maxcode | - | the largest value of Elem that this facet will read or write without error |
| Mode | - | a constant of type std::codecvt_mode |
Member functions
| (constructor) | constructs a new codecvt_utf8_utf16 facet (public member function) |
| (destructor) | destroys a codecvt_utf8_utf16 facet (public member function) |
std::codecvt_utf8_utf16::codecvt_utf8_utf16
explicit codecvt_utf8_utf16( std::size_t refs = 0 ); |
Constructs a new std::codecvt_utf8_utf16 facet, passes the initial reference counter refs to the base class.
Parameters
| refs | - | the number of references that link to the facet |
std::codecvt_utf8_utf16::~codecvt_utf8_utf16
~codecvt_utf8_utf16(); |
Destroys the facet. Unlike the locale-managed facets, this facet's destructor is public.

Protected member functions
| [virtual] | converts a string from internT to externT, such as when writing to file (virtual protected member function of std::codecvt) |
| [virtual] | converts a string from externT to internT, such as when reading from file (virtual protected member function of std::codecvt) |
| [virtual] | generates the termination character sequence of externT characters for incomplete conversion (virtual protected member function of std::codecvt) |
| [virtual] | returns the number of externT characters necessary to produce one internT character, if constant (virtual protected member function of std::codecvt) |
| [virtual] | tests if the facet encodes an identity conversion for all valid argument values (virtual protected member function of std::codecvt) |
| [virtual] | calculates the length of the externT string that would be consumed by conversion into given internT buffer (virtual protected member function of std::codecvt) |
| [virtual] | returns the maximum number of externT characters that could be converted into a single internT character (virtual protected member function of std::codecvt) |

Example
The following example demonstrates reading a UTF-8 file into a UTF-16 string on a system with 32-bit wchar_t.
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <locale>
#include <codecvt>
int main()
{
std::ofstream("text.txt") << u8"z\u6c34\U0001d10b";
std::wifstream file1("text.txt");
file1.imbue(std::locale("en_US.UTF8"));
std::cout << "Normal read from file (using default UTF-8/UTF-32 codecvt)\n";
for (wchar_t c; file1 >> c; )
std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase << c << '\n';
std::wifstream file2("text.txt");
file2.imbue(std::locale(file2.getloc(), new std::codecvt_utf8_utf16<wchar_t>));
std::cout << "UTF-16 read from the same file (using codecvt_utf8_utf16)\n";
for (wchar_t c; file2 >> c; )
std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase << c << '\n';
}Output:
Normal read from file (using default UTF-8/UTF-32 codecvt) 0x7a 0x6c34 0x1d10b UTF-16 read from the same file (using codecvt_utf8_utf16) 0x7a 0x6c34 0xd834 0xdd0b
