You mean like the
A2W()macro?
"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman

The first 127 code points of the Unicode character set equal the ASCII character set, so you can simply assign each ASCII character to a wide Unicode character.

"cyrillic" isn't an encoding. You must know the actual character set used to encode the cyrilic text, is it ISO-8859-5, Windows CP1251, KOI-8, or something else? Once you know that you can use for example iconv[^] to do the conversion.

You are right, it is Windows CP1251, i want to change it to UTF-8, but how? i read some about
iconv, i think that is only under linux os, even if it is under windows, could you give me an example of how to use it? i am really lost of c++ type casting. there are alot of types in c++ thanks -

Use MultiByteToWideChar[^] and WideCharToMultiByte[^], respectively.
