jmccay:
Does anyone know of any good tutorials on using wide characters (& Unicode) with mingw (& in C++ general)?

David Perfors:
I don't know a good tutorial, but in C++ you can use wchar_t for characters and std::wstring for strings... I think that is the official way for using wide characters in C++

jmccay:
What about all the char functions?  Like the wide char equivilant of sprintf (swprintf)?  That's what I was reallylooking for info about.

stahta01:
Did you look in wchar.h and see if the function exists? Did you include it?

Challenging Google with "standard library wide character functions" leads to about as many helpful sites as searching for "Amendment 1 to ISO C90". Several of them, for example the Debian one, have code examples.

The GNU C Libarary's documentation and MSDN (Visual C++ section) have chapters on it, too.
