Did you do any research? Or did you post here when your one guess failed? – Lightness Races in Orbit Jun 16 '14 at 22:04

If you have C++11, use std::wstring_convert:
#include <locale>
std::wstring_convert<std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t>> converter;
std::wstring result = converter.from_bytes(app->db->getString("CharName"));
If not, you can resort to C functions like mbstowcs() and convert to the appropriate standard string type.
