C++98 have two native character types: char and wchar_t. The latter is purportedly used for manipulating Unicode strings. In reality however, wchar_t is unsuitable for this purpose. The C++09 standard is about to solve this problem by adding two new character datatypes that will enable one to use Unicode portably and easily. This paper explains how to create Unicode literal characters and strings and how to detect whether the implementation supports UTF-16 and UTF-32.
