Transmitting strings via tcp from a windows c++ client to a Java server

Hi all,

We have a C++ client which runs on Windows and that needs to transmit
char* / wchar* strings to and from a Java server.

The client should correctly handle both 'standard' languages & east
Asian
languages (i.e. using wchar).

Now, I'm sure there is a best practice for doing so , I just haven't
found it yet :-)

My best bet would be always encoding the string in UTF-8 before
sending
it via the net, but I could be wrong.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gilad
