URL encoding for multibyte character string in c++

I am trying to achieve URL encoding for some of my strings via c++. Strings can contaim multibyte characters like ™, ®, ©, etc.

Input text: Something ™
Output should be: Something%20%E2%84%A2

I can achieve URL encode or decode in JS with encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent, but I have some native code in c++ and hence need to encode some text via c++.

Any help here would be great relief for me.

It's not to hard to do manually, if you can't find a library. First encode the string as UTF-8 (there are other posts on SO about using the standard library to do that if the string is in another encoding) and then replace every character with a value above 127, and every one that's restricted in URLs, with the percent encoding of that character (A percent sign followed by the two hexadecimal digits representing the character's value).
