Utility functions for UTF-8 string conversion.

Function Documentation

◆ Local8BitToUtf8()

MITKCORE_EXPORT std::string mitk::Utf8Util::Local8BitToUtf8 ( const std::string & local8BitStr )

Convert a string encoded with the current code page to a UTF-8 encoded string (Windows).

The conversion happens on Windows only. On all other platforms, the input string is returned unmodified as it is assumed to be UTF-8 encoded already.

If the conversion fails, a warning is printed and the input string is returned instead. This matches the behavior before this method was introduced.

Parameters

[in] local8BitStr The string in the current system code page encoding.

Returns: The UTF-8 encoded string.

◆ Utf8ToLocal8Bit()

MITKCORE_EXPORT std::string mitk::Utf8Util::Utf8ToLocal8Bit ( const std::string & utf8Str )

Convert a UTF-8 encoded string to a string encoded with the current code page (Windows).

The conversion happens on Windows only. On all other platforms, the input string is returned unmodified as strings are assumed to be always UTF-8 encoded by default.
