Excuse me, but the std::wstring type is based on wchar and has no codepage assigned to it. And under windows, that's the standard type to use to talk to the W suffix APIs, thus giving them the UTF-16 that they are expecting.
I'm using the sqlite3_errmsg16 function here under windows, and gives me exactly what I need to be sent to, say, the MessageBoxW Win32 API.
