Receiving Unicode characters over TCP

To receive mixed unicode and ascii characters, do i require a wchar_t buffer or it can be interpreted from char buffer which means multibyte i suppose?

A TCP connection has no concept of character encoding. The data transferred at the TCP level is simply a byte stream.

Most likely (since you mention mixed ASCII and Unicode characters), you are referring to a UTF-8 encoded string. In order to merely store the contents, you can simply use a char array.
