You might get interested in trying strf library instead:

std::format, UTF-8-literals and Unicode escape sequence is a mess
If you want a formatting library that supports well char8_t and UTF, you might get interested in the one I'm developing: Strf.

How many people use printf() in their C++ code ?
You might like the strf formatting library then

How to get unicode of special characters in c++
You can also use https://github.com/robhz786/strf to convert utf-8 to utf-32 ( as demonstrated here).

Root cause of log4j: format string is a historical mistake. fast_io is the future.
Format strings enable the use of tools like gettex. However, with the strf formatting library, It is possible to use them without a format string.

State of the art for CPOs (customization points) in C++?
So it is a formatting library (strf), and if one wants to make a type xyz printable, one can either specialize a template or overload tag_invoke function, like below:

std::locale portability
The Strf formatting library may solve your problem:

Converting int to char*
There is the strf formatting library. Its current version (0.14) is not working well in CUDA, but I'm working to fix this into the next release, which should come soon. The usage would be:

How to convert an enum to string in C++
I really like better_enums instead of magic_enums. There’s no limit on enum size with it: http://aantron.github.io/better-enums/
It was heavily used at a former employer of mine, so definitely a solid production-ready solution.

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
IIRC I then switched to another library doing the same stuff: https://github.com/aantron/better-enums It is not as magical, as it uses a special macro to define the enum, using dedicated syntax. So it only works for enums you yourself define. However, it did work a lot better for me with enums with huge values.

Behind the magic of magic_enum
I can't keep up! First we have better enum, then some guy at a conference says we have to use wise enum instead, and now you speak of magic enum!
- What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?

let's all be chads
If you need a laugh today, look at Better Enums library for C++. If you thought moving from C to C++ would let you leave macros behind, think again! Enums in C++ still suck (a bit less than in C though), so someone built a library to help with that. And it's built on macros. So you can only have 64 entries per enum. And the library's code is barely readable.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing strf and Better Enums you can also consider the following projects:
