how to write unicode hello world in C on windows

im tyring to get this to work:


#define UNICODE
#define _UNICODE
#include <wchar.h>

int main()
{
    wprintf(L"Hello World!\n");
    wprintf(L"£안, 蠀, ☃!\n");
    return 0;
}

using visual studio 2008 express (on windows xp, if it matters). when i run this from the command prompt (started as cmd /u which is supposed to enable unicode ?) i get this:

C:\dev\unicodevs\unicodevs\Debug>unicodevs.exe
Hello World!
┬ú∞
C:\dev\unicodevs\unicodevs\Debug>

which i suppose was to be expected given that the terminal does not have the font to render those. but what gets me is that even if i try this:

C:\dev\unicodevs\unicodevs\Debug>cmd /u /c "unicodevs.exe > output.txt"

the file produced (even though its UTF-8 encoded) looks like:

Hello World!
壓

the source file itself is defined as unicode (encoded in UTF-8 without BOM). the compiler output when building:

any ideas on what am i doing wrong ? similar questions on ST (like this one: unicode hello world for C?) seem to refer to *nix builds - as far as i understand setlocale() is not available for windows.

i also tried building this using code::blocks/mingw gcc, but got the same results.


It's not the writing (wprintf) that's the problem, it's the cmd redirection of output that's causing the problem. You can try testing by writing directly to file instead. In that case, you might then run into notepad (or rather Windows API function) not guessing correctly and interpreting your text as ASCII incorrectly if you're just writing a couple of words. In which case, you'll need to write the BOM characters into the file first as well.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>

int main()
{
    FILE *out;
    char bom[] = "\xFF\xFE";
    wchar_t s[] = L"中文!";
    size_t c;

    out = fopen ("out.txt", "w");
    if(out == NULL)
    {
        perror("out.txt");
        return 1;
    }

    c = fwrite(bom, 1, 2, out);
    if(c != 2)
    {
        perror ("Fatal write error.");
        fclose(out);
        return 2;
    }

    c = fwrite(s, sizeof(wchar_t), wcslen(s), out);
    if(c != wcslen(s))
    {
        perror ("Fatal write error.");
        fclose(out);
        return 2;
    }

    fclose(out);

    return 0;
}
