Conversion from Multi-Byte encoding to Unicode

Question

I am working on a project, this contains a mix of C++, MFC and C# projects which are in need of conversion from MultiByte encoding to Unicode.

The project is too huge to do it manually. Is there any tool to do this conversion?

Which IDE do you use to handle these projects? – Aravind Jun 12 '13 at 06:25 — Aravind, Jun 12 '13 at 06:25

I recommend strongly against TCHAR, std::wstring, wchar_t, T() macros and L"" strings.

Summary of my views, also some guidelines for easy conversion without having to replace much of your code is in http://utf8everywhere.org.

We applied this to several large (millions CL) codebase(s) and it was rather smooth.
