This code:

void ascii_es() {
    std::vector<int> list;
    std::wstring a;

    list.push_back( 160 );
    list.push_back( 181 );
    list.push_back( 130 );
    list.push_back( 144 );
    list.push_back( 161 );
    list.push_back( 214 );
    list.push_back( 162 );
    list.push_back( 224 );
    list.push_back( 168 );
    list.push_back( 164 );
    list.push_back( 165 );
    list.push_back( 163 );
    list.push_back( 233 );
    for(auto i : list) {
        a = i;
        wcout << L"Alt + " << i << L": " << a << std::endl;
    }
}

nicely displays all Spanish letters on my Win10 console, but this code

void DisplayEs() {
    std::locale myLoc;

    std::locale es("ES");
    std::locale::global(es);
    std::wcout.imbue(es);

    std::wcout << L"Has escogido Espa" << static_cast<char>(164) << "ol" << std::endl;

    std::locale::global(myLoc);
    std::wcout.imbue(myLoc);
}

does not display the letter ñ (Alt+164) at all.

My question is, why my VC++-12 program works perfectly in the first example, but in the second does not?

The examples are two functions in the same program, but they display differently on the Terminal?

Can anybody help?

making a [long story](http://kunststube.net/encoding/) short. It's the encoding. Change the terminal encoding to `utf-8` and then from your program output `utf-8` encoded strings via `cout` (not `wcout`). – bolov Jan 16 '16 at 08:28
Should `static_cast(164)` be `static_cast(164)` – Ed Heal Jan 16 '16 at 08:45
And ` "ol"` be `L "ol"` – Ed Heal Jan 16 '16 at 08:46
Look [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/402283). – Kellerspeicher Jan 16 '16 at 09:23
char can be signed or unsigned. If signed, `static_cast(164)` creates an overflow and the result is actually -92. – Frank Osterfeld Jan 17 '16 at 10:41
