For 8-bit characters (char), XSD uses current locale/code page for
encoding. On POSIX systems you can set the locale with the setlocale
function, as the following sample shows for UTF-8:


#include <clocale>
#include <iostream>

int
main ()
{
  if (!std::setlocale (LC_CTYPE, "en_US.UTF-8"))
  {
    std::cerr << "en_US.UTF-8 locale is not supported" << std::endl;
    return 1;
  }

  ...
}


The advantage of this approach lies in the fact that the same character
encoding is now assumed by the resulting in-memory representation and
the string/character manipulation functions provided by the language
runtime.
