Print colorful ascii art in CPP console

Question

I created ASCII art with npm cfonts and I want to print it in cpp with std::cout but it won't display anything.

How it should be displayed:

This is my ascii art:

That depends on whether your terminal is able to interprete the terminal commands you used. — Scheff's Cat, Dec 10 '20 at 09:43

Btw. to demonstrate your issue, a shorter sequence would've done as well. ;-) (Though, I like the result of your test.) — Scheff's Cat, Dec 10 '20 at 09:47
Encoding could be an issue as well. (Is your source code stored as UTF-8? Is your console set to UTF-8?) — Scheff's Cat, Dec 10 '20 at 09:49
I forgot to mention, I want to display it in a windows console application — Roee Ziv, Dec 10 '20 at 09:51
Concerning the Windows console, I'm quite sure that it's limited to 16 colors (or so). — Scheff's Cat, Dec 10 '20 at 09:52
