consume_header = 4,
generate_header = 2,
little_endian = 1
The facets std::codecvt_utf8, std::codecvt_utf16, and std::codecvt_utf8_utf16 accept an optional value of type std::codecvt_mode as a template argument, which specifies optional features of the unicode string conversion.
little_endian assume the input is in little-endian byte order (applies to UTF-16 input only, the default is big-endian) consume_header consume the byte order mark, if present at the start of input sequence, and (in case of UTF-16), rely on the byte order it specifies for decoding the rest of the input generate_header output the byte order mark at the start of the output sequence
The recognized byte order marks are:
0xfe 0xff UTF-16 big-endian 0xff 0xfe UTF-16 little-endian 0xef 0xbb 0xbf UTF-8 (no effect on endianness)
If std::consume_header is not selected when reading a file beginning with byte order mark, the Unicode character U+FEFF (Zero width non-breaking space) will be read as the first character of the string content.
The following example demonstrates consuming the UTF-8 BOM:
#include <codecvt>
#include <cwchar>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <string>
int main()
{
// UTF-8 data with BOM
std::ofstream{"text.txt"} << "\ufeffz\u6c34\U0001d10b";
// read the UTF-8 file, skipping the BOM
std::wifstream fin{"text.txt"};
fin.imbue(std::locale(fin.getloc(),
new std::codecvt_utf8<wchar_t, 0x10ffff, std::consume_header>));
for (wchar_t c; fin.get(c);)
std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase << (std::wint_t)c << '\n';
}
