In my app I get a text from a database that contains a degree sign
(U+00B0, Alt+176). The app is Unicode (i.e. all chars are wchar_t).
What would be a correct way to create an XML file with _wfopen() so a
degree sign is written properly.

I tried to _wfopen_s(&fp, "test.xml", "w")

Try using the "ccs=UNICODE" in mode string:

_wfopen_s( &fp, L"text.xml", L"w,ccs=UNICODE" )

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I ended up using UTF-8 and
creating a file in two steps as follows:

  errno_t nErrno = _wfopen_s(&fp, pszPath, L"w");
  if (0 == nErrno) {
    fputws(L"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n", fp);
    fclose(fp);
    nErrno = _wfopen_s(&fp, pszPath, L"a, ccs=UTF-8");
  }

Thanks again,
Bogdan
