I have a C application where I receive a UTF-8 string aover a socket as a char*. Now I want to print it on the console using Eclipse CDT. How can I do this? What I get is usually something like "Günther" what should be "Günther"
Thanks a lot.

6Which **OS**??? – Anton Kovalenko Feb 10 '13 at 21:36

Have you checked the locales and such? If that doesn't work, check wide chars and wide strings. If that doesn't work, try converting the string yourself. I honestly don't remember how to do this, but I think the answer is in one of those things. – aaaaaa123456789 Feb 10 '13 at 21:37

11This is your console's problem. It's not interpreting your output as UTF-8. – Joseph Mansfield Feb 10 '13 at 21:37

4Your program is outputting correct `UTF-8` to the console, but your console is set to display the `iso-8859-1` charset. How you change the console to use `UTF-8` depends on what program you're using to show the console, not your C application. – Joachim Isaksson Feb 10 '13 at 21:50

2I think the absence of pointing out OS means Windows. – Dmytro Sirenko Feb 10 '13 at 22:00

`chcp 65001` will switch console to Unicode. – A.D. Feb 10 '13 at 22:27

2`chcp 65001` will switch the console to `UTF-8`, which is one of several possible encodings of Unicode. Unicode isn't an encoding (or "code page" in MS parlance) in itself. – Christoffer Hammarström Feb 10 '13 at 22:32

The best answer given above was by Joachim Isaksson. Thank you, this ideed seems to be the problem. I solved it in Eclipse by setting the "Encoding" settings for the run configuration to UTF-8.
