MSVC 2010 and UTF8

ALL,

I'm using MSVC 2010 for my project and the latest code for SQLite.

According to SQLite documentation the query strings should be encoded as UTF-8.

As suggested from some other threads here, I tried to use u8"" prefix.

However, I got an error that "u8" is not recognized: 'u8': undeclared identifier

So, now 2 questions:

1. Is u8 C++11 only?

2. How do I make my project recognize u8 prefix?

Thank you.
