UTF-8 does not mean you have a character that can fit in a char. UTF-8 is a Unicode encoding. The Unicode characters are 16-bit or wider and in C++ you can use wchar_t for the ones up to 16 bits. A wchar_t character is called a wide char.
The C++ library has functions for these wide characters, like wcout, wcin, wstring, etc.
However, being able to read the bit pattern does not mean you can display the Unicode glyph. You will need language localization functions for this.
