C / C ++ cross-platform Unicode encoding

Question

Is there a cross-platform way (in C / C ++) of making unsigned char unicode wchar_t (which can also handle different encodings / code pages as input)? I am looking for something like WideCharToMultiByte(...)on W32. My target platform has an ARM architecture, so I cannot use this ...

I would also be fine with some library if it was free and could work on the ARM platform ...

Any help is appreciated!

ICU is a free, open source library designed to work with Unicode texts and other globalization issues. It supports C, C ++ and Java.
