Not unless you write it yourself.

But here is a STL implementation I wrote

#include <windows.h>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

std::string utf82ansi (const std::string &str, UINT codepage = CP_ACP) {
   std::string result;
   if (!str.empty()) {
     int buffLen = ::MultiByteToWideChar( CP_UTF8,
                                          0U,
                                          str.c_str(),
                                          str.size(),
                                          NULL,
                                          0);
     if (buffLen > 0) {
         std::vector<wchar_t> buffer(buffLen);
         std::size_t res = ::MultiByteToWideChar( CP_UTF8,
                                                  0U,
                                                  str.c_str(),
                                                  str.size(),
                                                  &buffer[0],
                                                  buffer.size());
         if (res > 0) {
             std::vector<char> sbuffer (buffLen);
             res = ::WideCharToMultiByte( codepage,
                                          0U,
                                          &buffer[0],
                                          buffer.size(),
                                          &sbuffer[0],
                                          sbuffer.size(),
                                          NULL,
                                          NULL);
             if (res > 0) {
                 result.assign(sbuffer.begin(),sbuffer.end());
             }
         }
     }
   }
   return result;
}

int main() {
     std::cout << utf82ansi("<some utf-8 text>") << std::endl;
     return 0;
}
