XMLString::transcode not able to convert UNICODE char in Linux

Question

See more:

There is a string "Ë=D5+"!?!", when it is stored in char* variable it is converted to "Ã=D5+"!?!". I guess this is due to byte size.

ASCII value of Ë is 203 (UNICODE character)

const XMLCh* pXValue = "Ë=D5+"!?!";
char* pValue = XMLString::transcode( pXValue );

After calling of function XMLString::transcode(Xerces Library function), pValue contain "Ã=D5+"!?!" string which is wrong.

Note : In Windows it is working fine but in Linux it creates problem.

Language : VC++
Platform : Windows and Linux
Framework : Visual Studio 2012

This looks like a source file encoding issue. Is your .cpp file encoded in UTF-8? You can use the

-finput-charset=UTF-8

on GCC command line to specify the encoding of your source file.

Thanks Vaclav Zeman for reply and I tried as you suggested but that didn't resolve my problem.

The XMLCh represent 2 byte on Window and as well on Linux but this value( "Ë=D5+"!?!" ) require 4 byte representation.
So I create a function which convert 4 byte to 2 byte and it worked.
