Hi, So, does anybody have an idea? I do have following code at the beginning of the cpp file: #ifdef WIN32 #include <windows.h> #pragma execution_character_set("utf-8") #endif but even running it on OSX, I am getting this same error. Thank you.

"abcß" as tableName.lenght() (wstring) returns 4 (as in four characters) not number of bytes required to represent the intended string: 61 62 63 c3 9f > >> >> > Since the last character is a 2 bytes in length.

If you multiply it with sizeof(wchar_t) you will end up with maximum buffers size necessary to hold the string (minus terminating \0), but not the correct length you are after.
