c++ reading not alphabet string failed

[iceblockman]

Hi guys, my code can read alphabet based player name correctly, but failed for not alphabet .

for example , this player name: Ashbringér , the letter é cannot be displayed correctly. my code is here

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <Tlhelp32.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "User32.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "Advapi32.lib")

DWORD GetPID(char* procName);
DWORD GetBaseAddress(int pid);

int main ()
{
	DWORD id = GetPID("Wow.exe");
	DWORD base = GetBaseAddress(id);
	
	HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, id);
	
	char name[50] = {0};
	ReadProcessMemory(hProcess, reinterpret_cast<const void*>(base + 0xF24D40), &name, 50, nullptr);
	printf(name);
	
	CloseHandle( hProcess );
    return 0;
}

DWORD GetPID(char* procName)
{
	HANDLE hProcessSnap;
	PROCESSENTRY32 pe32;
	  
	// Take a snapshot of all processes in the system.
	hProcessSnap = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0);
	if( hProcessSnap == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )	
		return 0;
	
	// Set the size of the structure before using it.
	pe32.dwSize = sizeof(PROCESSENTRY32);

	// Retrieve information about the first process,
	if(!Process32First(hProcessSnap, &pe32))
		return 0;
	
	do
	{
		if(strcmp(pe32.szExeFile, procName) == 0)
		{
			DWORD pid = pe32.th32ProcessID;
			CloseHandle(hProcessSnap);
			return pid;
		}
	} while(Process32Next(hProcessSnap, &pe32));

	CloseHandle(hProcessSnap);
	return 0;
}

DWORD GetBaseAddress(int pid)
{
	HANDLE phandle = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPMODULE, pid);//get permission to read
	MODULEENTRY32 module; 
	module.dwSize = sizeof(MODULEENTRY32);
	Module32First(phandle, &module);
	CloseHandle(phandle);
	return reinterpret_cast<unsigned int>(module.modBaseAddr);
}

Use unicode or extended ASCII.

Wow stores strings in UTF-8 encoding. Console doesn't like it too much I guess.

i read the name bytes out, then use c# utf8 encoding to get the string, the output is correct, So i can confirm it's encoded in utf8.

but i cannot find Encoding.UTF8.GetString function in native c++, any help?

// Ashbringér  UTF8 encoding byte array
		byte[] array =
		{
			65,
			115,
			104,
			98,
			114,
			105,
			110,
			103,
			195,
			169,
			114
	    };
		
		string value = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(array);
		Console.WriteLine(value);  // print Ashbringér correctly

MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, ...)
