std::string doesn't not support UNICODE. If you want to use unicode strings, you have to use std::wstring instead. If you want support for both, you will need to define your own type, something like that:

#if defined _UNICODE || defined UNICODE
typedef std::wstring TMyString;
#else
typedef std::string TMyString;
#endif

And then everywhere in your code you use TMyString instead of std::string.
