Hello, I would like to know how I can convert a float or double to a Unicode String. I know there is swprintf, and there are conversion functions that VC++ has for converting it to MultiByte strings. But how can I do a direct conversion? Thanks

If you want UTF-8 encoding, then just do it as if you weren't using Unicode; the characters used for representing numbers all fall in plain 7-bit ASCII, and UTF-8 is ASCII-transparent.

If you want UTF-16, it will be easier to do it in the two steps AFAIK.

Huh? Define direct conversion. swprintf() should give you a UCS-2 encoded wide character string, and the numbers should lie in the non-surrugate range, so the results should be UTF-16 compatible.

edit: in MSVC anyways.
