The only "correct" way to do this is to convert to "mb" and then
convert to Unicode ! I'm not sure where Solaris is going, but there
were some efforts to make some versions of UNIX wchar's be UCS-4.

You may be able to use "iconv" to convert from "mb" to some UTF
of your choice. I'm not sure what solaris provides as standard
conversions in iconv.

Hello,

Can anyone please help me with converting wide character as defined in
Solaris and other Unix platforms to Unicode. There is an ANSI C function
mbtowc and wctomb, but that does not convert to Unicode.

Thanks,
Smita
