Using which toolkit? MFC? Qt? WinAPI directly? something else?

I'm asking because many toolkits provide a way to translate strings
between UTF8 and UTF16 character sets.

Firebird library is really not interesting here. You'll get the data
from IBPP into std::string in the charset you specified for connection
(IBPP::Database constructor). You'll want to translate string between
that and character set used by your operating system.
