How to display and enter data like wchar_t[]?

Question:

The question is how to do it on Windows. On Linux it's easy

setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
//а потом wprintf ...

On Windows, this does not work. Would like it to be something like this.

#ifdef __linux__ 
  setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
#elif defined _WIN32
  //Windows
#else

Needed to output Cyrillic, hieroglyphs, etc. We need exactly wchar_t .

Answer:

You need to call _setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_U16TEXT);

#include <iostream>
#include <io.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int wmain(int argc, wchar_t* argv[])
{
    _setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_U16TEXT);

    std::wcout << L"Testing unicode -- English -- Ελληνικά -- Español." << std::endl;
    // или
    wprintf(L"Testing unicode -- English -- Ελληνικά -- Español.\n");

    return 0;
}

Support for specific characters depends on the console font. Lucida Console and Consolas handle everything except hieroglyphs.
