class codecvt_utf16 : public std::codecvt<Elem, char, std::mbstate_t>;;
(since C++11)
(deprecated in C++17)

std::codecvt_utf16 is a std::codecvt facet which encapsulates conversion between a UTF-16 encoded byte string and UCS2 or UCS4 character string (depending on the type of Elem). This codecvt facet can be used to read and write UTF-16 files in binary mode.

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 reference 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.

Member type Definition

Enumeration constant Definition
ok conversion was completed with no error
partial not all source characters were converted
error encountered an invalid character
noconv no conversion required, input and output types are the same

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 UCS2, not UTF-16.

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <locale>
#include <codecvt>
 
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_endian>));
 
    for (wchar_t c; fin.get(c); )
            std::cout << std::showbase << std::hex << c << '\n';
}

Output:

0x7a
0x6c34
0x1d10b
