It should have had context when the compiler printed it, but you've removed it.
When you write a call to 'find' which can't be resolved by the
compiler it prints out the candidate functions that it tried to call
and tells you why it couldn't. In this case it couldn't call std::find
because you tried to pass a std::u16string in place of a std::string
argument:

This is another candidate function, and overload called 'find' defined
in namespace std. It's a candidate because you're using arguments of
types defined in namespace std and so Argument Dependent Lookup
applies, see http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/adl
If you don't want ADL to happen then you nede to call str::find(...)
not just find(...).
