std::codecvt_utf16 is a std::codecvt facet which encapsulates conversion between a UTF-16 encoded byte string and UCS2 or UCS4 character string (depending on the type of Elem). This codecvt facet can be used to read and write UTF-16 files in binary mode.
| Elem | - | either char16_t, char32_t, or wchar_t |
| Maxcode | - | the largest value of Elem that this facet will read or write without error |
| Mode | - | a constant of type std::codecvt_mode |
| (constructor) | constructs a new codecvt_utf16 facet (public member function) |
| (destructor) | destroys a codecvt_utf16 facet (public member function) |
explicit codecvt_utf16( std::size_t refs = 0 ); |
Constructs a new std::codecvt_utf16 facet, passes the initial reference counter refs to the base class.
| refs | - | the number of references that link to the facet |
~codecvt_utf16(); |
Destroys the facet. Unlike the locale-managed facets, this facet's destructor is public.

The following example demonstrates decoding of UTF-16le file on a system with 32-bit wchar_t. On a system with 16-bit wchar_t, decoding of the third character will fail because std::codecvt_utf16<char16_t> produces UCS2, not UTF-16.
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <locale>
#include <codecvt>
void prepare_file()
{
// UTF-16le data (if host system is little-endian)
char16_t utf16le[4] ={0x007a, // latin small letter 'z' U+007a
0x6c34, // CJK ideograph "water" U+6c34
0xd834, 0xdd0b}; // musical sign segno U+1d10b
// store in a file
std::ofstream fout("text.txt");
fout.write( reinterpret_cast<char*>(utf16le), sizeof utf16le);
}
int main()
{
prepare_file();
// open as a byte stream
std::wifstream fin("text.txt", std::ios::binary);
// apply facet
fin.imbue(std::locale(fin.getloc(),
new std::codecvt_utf16<wchar_t, 0x10ffff, std::little_endian>));
for (wchar_t c; fin.get(c); )
std::cout << std::showbase << std::hex << c << '\n';
}Output:
0x7a 0x6c34 0x1d10b
