Otherwise you can convert yourself to UTF-8 or load text data from file already saved as UTF-8.
Text input: it is up to your application to pass the right character code by calling
io.AddInputCharacter(). The applications in examples/ are doing that. For languages relying
on an Input Method Editor (IME), on Windows you can copy the Hwnd of your application in the
io.ImeWindowHandle field. The default implementation of io.ImeSetInputScreenPosFn() will set
your Microsoft IME position correctly.

The applications in examples/ are doing that.
Windows: you can use the WM_CHAR or WM_UNICHAR or WM_IME_CHAR message (depending if your app is built using Unicode or MultiByte mode).
You may also use MultiByteToWideChar() or ToUnicode() to retrieve Unicode codepoints from MultiByte characters or keyboard state.
Windows: if your language is relying on an Input Method Editor (IME), you copy the HWND of your window to io.ImeWindowHandle in order for
the default implementation of io.ImeSetInputScreenPosFn() to set your Microsoft IME position correctly.
Q: How can I use the drawing facilities without an ImGui window? (using ImDrawList API)
A: - You can create a dummy window. Call SetNextWindowBgAlpha(0.0f), call Begin() with NoTitleBar|NoResize|NoMove|NoScrollbar|NoSavedSettings|NoInputs flags.

REMAPPING CODEPOINTS
---------------------------------------
All your strings needs to use UTF-8 encoding. Specifying literal in your source code using a local code page (such as CP-923 for Japanese, or CP-1251 for Cyrillic) will NOT work!
In C++11 you can encode a string literal in UTF-8 by using the u8"hello" syntax. Otherwise you can convert yourself to UTF-8 or load text data from file already saved as UTF-8.
e.g.
u8"hello"
u8"こんにちは"
You may also try to remap your local codepage characters to their Unicode codepoint using font->AddRemapChar(), but international users may have problems reading/editing your source code.
