All strings in the object model can contains characters encoded using
one of the following three ways:

1. char/UTF-8 (default)
2. char/local code page
3. wchar_t/UTF-32 or UTF-16, depending on the size of wchar_t

See Q 1.2 in the C++/Tree Mapping FAQ for details:

In your case, choosing options (2) might do the trick through this
might not work on some platforms as mentioned in the FAQ.
