Query Regarding Universal String to store ü

["Kaliraj Kalaichelvan - CTD, Chennai" <kalirajk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am using a SNACC generated C++ code. I am trying to interface the
generated code with the below code.
My objective is to store a character like "ü" or "ä" in a UniversalString
and retrieve it. But when i try to perform as below , i get an exception
thrown.(given in output)
What is the procedure i shouid perform so that i would be able to store such
characters in UniversalString.
Kindly help.....

	UniversalString ustr;
	char ich[32]="ü";
	char och[32];
	
	try
	{
		ustr.set((const char *)&ich[0]);		
		strcpy((char *)&och[0],ustr.getAsUTF8());
		cout<<och<<endl;

	}
	catch(SnaccException &se)
	{
	  se.getCallStack(std::cout);
	  cout << "Exception thrown" <<se.what()<< endl;
	} 
	catch(exception &e)
	{
	  cout << "Exception thrown : " <<e.what()<< endl;
	}


Output:
asn-stringtype.cpp	665	WideAsnString::set()
Exception ThrownInvalid UTF-8 string
