How can I convert a string from UTF-8 to ANSI (extended ASCII) in C++?
Generally, one uses libiconv (webpage), which is portable and runs on most platforms. As KerrekSB mentioned, you will get in deep trouble if you think of a character set as “extended ASCII” — I’m sure there are at least a hundred character sets that could be called “extended ASCII”, including UTF-8.
Also, make sure you know which encoding you want: ISO-8859-1 or CP1252. The Windows version replaces the C1 control codes with additional printing characters.
