    Embeddable scripting language for real-time applications

  • If you're working in UTF-8 internally, you could just write your own UTF-16 to UTF-8 conversion functions to convert strings at API boundaries. I did this in my scripting language because I didn't want to bring in dependencies.

  • utf8.h

    📚 single header utf8 string functions for C and C++

  • I'd use something like utf-8.h. It's a small dependency. I use it for the same use case as you. I would use std::u8string to signal you're requiring UTF8
