When using Glib::ustring with std::cout, it tries to convert to your
locale, and that might not always be possible. You should probably
convert explicitly if you want to do this. There's more about this here:
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/glibmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGlib_1_1ustring.html#_details

The problem is in std::cout, which doesn't do UTF-8, I think.
