Yeah but I'm wanting to put it into sf::String so it can be drawable using fonts. As far as I can tell sf::String constructor doesn't take std::string or char so I'm not sure what to do.
...oh I'm sorry. I just figured it out after digging through the sf::String and sf::Unicode docs. Apparently that's how! Alright so it's just passing std::string to sf::Unicode::Text and finally passing that to sf::String.
