While testing some functions to convert strings between wchar_t and utf8 I met the following weird result with Visual C++ express 2008

std::wcout << L"élève" << std::endl;

prints out "ÚlÞve:" which is obviously not what is expected.

This is obviously a bug. How can that be ? How am I suppose to deal with such "feature" ?
