In case of wchar_t output, I don't think you have any reason to expect a readable output. > It looks like the > "wide" output is a different encoding, but for some reason has not affected > the 7-bit ASCII range (I would have expected something like padding with \0 > if it was outputting UCS-4). I should double check, really, but I'm pretty sure that libc wcsftime (and therefore libstdc++) just outputs wchar_t in the internal, UCS-4 encoding (which is not supposed to be readable).
