Printing Korean in C ++ Console

Question

I'm having trouble printing Korean. I tried various methods to no avail. I tried

one.

cout << "한글" << endl; 

2.

  wcout << "한글" << endl; 

3.

  wprintf(L"한글\n"); 

4.

  setlocale(LC_ALL, "korean"); wprintf("한글"); 

and much more. But all these prints are í • œê¸. I am using the MinGW compiler, and my OS is Windows 7.

PS Strange Java prints Korean fine,

  String kor = "한글"; System.out.println(kor); 

working.

Answer 1

Set utf-8 console code page before printing text

 ::SetConsoleOutputCP(65001) 

Answer 2

Since you are using Windows 7, you can use WriteConsoleW, which is part of the windows API. #include <windows.h> and try the following code:

 DWORD numCharsToWrite = str.length(); LPDWORD numCharsWritten = NULL; WriteConsoleW(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), str.c_str(), numCharsToWrite, numCharsWritten, NULL); 

where str is std :: wstring

After using other methods, this worked for me.
