Reading unicode (utf-16 le) using wifstream

[anubis]

Heay, i've got this problem:

http://rafb.net/paste/results/lpNgbn49.html

i'm using wifstream to read utf-16 file and i've got this problem, that
each byte is read into seperate char while little-endian uses at least
2 bytes for one sign.

the code of method is in the above letter, also with the problem i'm
attaching below:
i've googled and browsed documentation, but can't make it out by my
own.

/*
+ std::_String_val<wchar_t,std::allocator<wchar_t> > {_Alval={...}
} std::_String_val<wchar_t,std::allocator<wchar_t> >
- _Bx {_Buf=0x0012f340 "쀰7H" _Ptr=0x0037c030 "þÿH"

- _Buf 0x0012f340 "쀰7H" wchar_t [8]

Hi "Anubis",

i'm using wifstream to read utf-16 file and i've got this
problem, that each byte is read into seperate char while
little-endian uses at least 2 bytes for one sign.

PJ Plauger wrote a pair of columns in the April and May 1999
editions of the C/C++ Users Journal about reading/writing
Unicode files. He uses Codecvt facets to do the conversion.
You can find the source code on the cuj server:

If you are using Windows/Visual C++ the following link
might also be useful:

Best regards,
