Make a simple program with Latin characters (Á, ò, ã) on Windows

Question

I am trying to make a simple program for my father to see on Father's Day. And I want all the characters displayed correctly. I have full access to the computer where I want to run the program, and I can install anything on it. Here is my program:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    printf("Obrigado Dad, por tudo que tens suportado. És bom e misericordioso\n e tem sempre força para acabares tudo, porque eu não duvido que consegues.\nAmo-te.\nDanny\n");
    return 0;
}

The problem is that I cannot make Latin characters look as they should.

If you use “Bitmap font” on cmd.exe, switch to the Unicode TrueType font (for example, “Lucida Console”) and, as indicated by Andrejs, save the source file in UTF8.
