Greek letters in Windows Concole

Question

I am writing a C program and I want to have Greek characters in the menu when I run it in cmd.exe. Someone said that to include Greek characters you should use printfone that looks something like this:

 printf(charset:IS0-1089:uffe);      

but they were not sure.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

Assuming Windows, you can:

• set the console font to the Unicode TrueType font:
• emit data using the ANSI mechanism

This code prints γειά σου:

#include "windows.h"

int main() {
  SetConsoleOutputCP(1253); //"ANSI" Greek
  printf("\xE3\xE5\xE9\xDC \xF3\xEF\xF5");
  return 0;
}

γειά σου windows-1253. , windows-1253, . OEM 737 ( DOS-) Unicode.

SetConsoleOutputCP , chcp 1253 .
