Unicode Characters

I also have troubles with unicode in general so i might be wrong bigtime, try this code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <locale>

int main()
{
	setlocale(LC_ALL, ".1256");

	std::string buffer;
	std::ifstream in("arabic.txt");
	in >> buffer;
	in.close();

	
	std::cout <<  buffer << std::endl;

	std::cout << "Press enter to exit...";
	std::cin.get();
	return 0;
}

note that it should read only first line for test.
