std::codecvt_utf16(3) C++ Standard Libary std::codecvt_utf16(3) NAME std::codecvt_utf16 - std::codecvt_utf16 Synopsis Defined in header <codecvt> template< class Elem, (since C++11) unsigned long Maxcode = 0x10ffff, (deprecated in C++17) std::codecvt_mode Mode = (std::codecvt_mode)0 > (removed in C++26) class codecvt_utf16 : public std::codecvt<Elem, char, std::mbstate_t>; std::codecvt_utf16 is a std::codecvt facet which encapsulates con- version between a UTF-16 encoded byte string and UCS-2 or UTF-32 character string (de- pending on the type of Elem). This std::codecvt facet can be used to read and write UTF-16 files in binary mode. UCS-2 is the same encoding as UTF-16, except that it encodes scalar (since C++23) values in the range U+0000-U+FFFF (Basic Multilingual Plane) only. 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_utf16 facet (public member function) destructor destroys a codecvt_utf16 facet (public member function) std::codecvt_utf16::codecvt_utf16 explicit codecvt_utf16( std::size_t refs = 0 ); Constructs a new std::codecvt_utf16 facet, passes the initial refer- ence counter refs to the base class. Parameters refs - the number of references that link to the facet std::codecvt_utf16::~codecvt_utf16 ~codecvt_utf16(); Destroys the facet. Unlike the locale-managed facets, this facet's destructor is public.

The term "UCS-2" was deprecated and removed from ISO 10646. Since C++23, UCS-2 does not refer to its original definition any- more. It becomes a synonym of UTF-16, but with a smaller encoding range. Example The following example demonstrates decoding of UTF-16le file on a system with 32-bit wchar_t. On a system with 16-bit wchar_t, decoding of the third character will fail because std::codecvt_utf16<char16_t> produces UCS-2, not UTF-16. // Run this code #include <codecvt> #include <cwchar> #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <locale> #include <string> void prepare_file() { // UTF-16le data (if host system is little-endian) char16_t utf16le[4] = {0x007a, // latin small letter 'z' U+007a 0x6c34, // CJK ideograph "water" U+6c34 0xd834, 0xdd0b}; // musical sign segno U+1d10b // store in a file std::ofstream fout("text.txt"); fout.write(reinterpret_cast<char*>(utf16le), sizeof utf16le); } int main() { prepare_file(); // open as a byte stream std::wifstream fin("text.txt", std::ios::binary); // apply facet fin.imbue(std::locale(fin.getloc(), new std::codecvt_utf16<wchar_t, 0x10ffff, std::little_en- dian>)); wchar_t c = 0; for (std::cout << std::showbase << std::hex; fin.get(c); std::cout << static_cast<std::wint_t>(c) << '\n'); } Output: 0x7a 0x6c34 0x1d10b See also Character locale-defined multibyte UTF-8 UTF-16 conversions (UTF-8, GB18030) codecvt<char16_t,char,mb- state_t> UTF-16 mbrtoc16 / c16rtomb (with C11's codecvt_utf8_utf16<char16_t> N/A DR488) codecvt_utf8_utf16<char32_t> codecvt_utf8_utf16<wchar_t> UCS-2 c16rtomb (without C11's DR488) codecvt_utf8<char16_t> codecvt_utf16<char16_t> UTF-32 mbrtoc32 / c32rtomb codecvt<char32_t,char,mbstate_t> codecvt_utf16<char32_t> codecvt_utf8<char32_t> system wchar_t: mbsrtowcs / wcsrtombs UTF-32 use_facet<codecvt codecvt_utf8<wchar_t> codecvt_utf16<wchar_t> (non-Windows) <wchar_t,char,mbstate_t>>(locale) UCS-2 (Windows) converts between character encodings, includ- ing UTF-8, UTF-16, codecvt UTF-32 (class template) codecvt_mode (C++11) tags to alter behavior of the standard codecvt facets (deprecated in C++17) (enum) (removed in C++26) codecvt_utf8 (C++11) converts between UTF-8 and UCS-2/UCS-4 (deprecated in C++17) (class template) (removed in C++26) codecvt_utf8_utf16 (C++11) converts between UTF-8 and UTF-16 (deprecated in C++17) (class template) (removed in C++26) http://cppreference.com 2024.06.10 std::codecvt_utf16(3)
