This problem was one of the reasons for moving all my code base from wchar_t* to char* (and utf8). If your code really is unicode aware you will have to handle many special cases where one codepoint!=one glyph/entity anyway (diacritics, normalization, etc). Enumerating unicode code points in an utf8 string is easy to implement and it forces you to really think about semantics of what you want to do with the text.
And it displays nicely in the debugger, even as an std::string ;-).
