It should be noted that depending on your locale in Linux, std:string is technically treated as a series of UTF-8 code units, so it deals with unicode correctly. However, I have no idea how you'd set any of them individually if you wanted anything other than ASCII and wanted to set it in the code rather than reading in something that's already unicode (you'd probably have to figure out what each code unit was rather than setting a whole code point at once). However, on Windows, I think that you do indeed have to use std::wstring.

I still have a problem. I simply do not get the bullet point on my output. std::wcout outputs quotes (")

The problem is in the console. Check [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2492077/output-unicode-strings-in-windows-console-app) question if you use Windows.
