Printing unicodes in cmd.exe

[terse lynx]

Hey, so I'm having some issues with printing unicode characters
I want to print
"▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ █" these.
The output is ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    SetConsoleOutputCP(CP_UTF8);

    wprintf(L"%lc\t%lc\t%lc\t%lc\n", 0x03B1, 0x03B2, 0x03B3, 0x03B4);
    return 0;
}

setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
and wchars also don't work

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <io.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main(void)
{
        _setmode(1, _O_WTEXT);
        wprintf(L"\x2585 \x2586 \x2587\n");
}

something like this, ig

well, STDOUT_FILENO should work instead of 1

although I'm not sure Windows libraries have that constant

[terse lynx]

Yea that works

[valid hemlock]

_fileno(stdin) I think

[terse lynx]

If you have set the code page to UTF-8 you would use the narrow printing functions with UTF-8-encoded strings.

[terse lynx]

How?

[icy hollow]

Use printf normally.

[terse lynx]

I just

Said

Nothing works except what this guy said

[icy hollow]

It works here.

[terse lynx]

[icy hollow]

[terse lynx]

[terse lynx]

[terse lynx]

Ok.. that's odd because it didn't work for m3

[sleek isle]

you need to use chcp to get unicode in cmd eh?

ah or use the win32 call to do it in-program i suppose

you did see the SetConsoleCP() there, right?

[valid hemlock]

you just need to choose whether you want to work with wchars and utf16 or with utf8 and set things accordingly
