Please forgive me a newbie question, it is my very first experience with this.
I´ve defined a few std::strings, where one of them contains a few characters in polish language, while the rest is all english.
Upon "compile" C::B will notify me: encoding was changed to UTF-8 to prevent me from losing data.
If this is all it takes to have those few polish characters displayed correct, perfectly fine with me, I´m just trying to find the setting, where I can set UTF-8 as default for my application.
Does anyone know?
Or am I completely wrong and I have to convert the whole application to unicode?
Edit:
Well, it doesn´t work, or better it results in problems elsewhere.
Having the whole application in UTF-8 means operations like string.length() don´t work anymore.
I know charset stuff is quite tricky, so I guess I just have to make the whole thing unicode.

1.) The default encoding can be setup under: Settings -> Editor -> General settings -> Font -> Default encoding...
Careful:
2.) The way the source code files are encoded has *nothing* (I repeat:) nothing to do with the strings / string handling you are implementing.
