I want to display non standard characters using the console window - anything similar to Japanese/Chinese/whatever will do. I tried using unicode characters, but the console window displays them as question marks.

Also tried setting the windows locale using

char *locale;
locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, "ja_JP")

or 

char *locale;
locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, "")

Neither of which worked nor mean anything to me These characters, which I believe are kano (?), would be ideal, but I'm really not fussy

  • Ah, tell it to the Japanese that they're not standard :-) – Kerrek SB Jun 15 '14 at 15:07
  • In the properties of your cmd icon, you can specify a font. I guess that not unicode might not be fully implemetned by these. You should also have a look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14109024/how-to-make-unicode-charset-in-cmd-exe-by-default – Christophe Jun 15 '14 at 15:19
  • @Christophe still get question marks, and i have no intention of changing it at system level – Mauvai Jun 15 '14 at 15:35
  • I understand. I had also a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3780378/how-to-display-japanese-kanji-inside-a-cmd-window-under-windows . There are some hints on how to do it over registry control. In one of the comment, it's reminded to make sure that unicode ouput functions (wprintf(), wcout, ...) are used. – Christophe Jun 15 '14 at 17:27
  • i would prefer to avoid editing registry keys... wprintf and wcout print nothing to the console window. I can print using `cout << \u001A;` as far as 001f, they are the only ones that dont display as a question mark – Mauvai Jun 15 '14 at 18:01
