This header was originally in the C standard library as <uchar.h>.

This header is part of the null-terminated multibyte strings library.

Macros
__STDC_UTF_16__ (C++11)	indicates that UTF-16 encoding is used by mbrtoc16 and c16rtomb (macro constant)
__STDC_UTF_32__ (C++11)	indicates that UTF-32 encoding is used by mbrtoc32 and c32rtomb (macro constant)
Types
mbstate_t	conversion state information necessary to iterate multibyte character strings (class)
size_t	unsigned integer type returned by the sizeof operator (typedef)
Functions
mbrtoc16 (C++11)	converts a narrow multibyte character to UTF-16 encoding (function)
c16rtomb (C++11)	convert a 16-bit wide character to narrow multibyte string (function)
mbrtoc32 (C++11)	converts a narrow multibyte character to UTF-32 encoding (function)
c32rtomb (C++11)	convert a 32-bit wide character to narrow multibyte string (function)
mbrtoc8 (C++20)	converts a narrow multibyte character to UTF-8 encoding (function)
c8rtomb (C++20)	converts UTF-8 string to narrow multibyte encoding (function)
