title: MBCS to UTF-8 C++
body: <p>I'm working on a project in VS2008 that I'm compiling in MBCS but I need to work with some UTF-8 strings to interact with some web services. I wrote a function that works perfectly with Unicode but not MBCS. Is there any way I can convert a MBCS string to UTF-8 or to Unicode? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
