Boost.Serialization is broken for Unicode characters. The code difference is in archives, e.g. in 1.57 in xml_woarchive_impl the utf8_codecvt_facet is set, but this has been disabled in 1.60. {{{#!cpp void f() { std::wstring wstr = L""\u20AC""; std::wofstream ofs(L""c:\\temp\\bla.xml""); boost::archive::xml_woarchive oa(ofs); oa << boost::serialization::make_nvp(""tag"", wstr); } }}} see thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/85178" Bugs closed To Be Determined serialization Boost 1.60.0 Problem fixed
