This is my current code to test my problem:
Code: Select all
#include <wx/string.h>
int main() {
wxPuts(wxT("García")); // Displays "Garc?a"
return 0;
}
How can I print the correct string: "García"?
Thanks.

The problem is probably the encoding of the source file (main.cpp or what you're calling it)! You should save in with the encoding
Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) !
Good luck!

Or look up Unicode tables and escape the character
"blah blah \Ux0085 blah blah"
Or write the app in english and use i18n to get translations

Did you try to use the _ macro instead of wxT ?

Auria, I tried to do a wxT("whatever\Ux00E0whatever") but it didn't work, can you give me a valid example?
Thanks!

I was writing that from the top of my memory, look-up unicode tables for the real character codes (e.g.
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/search.htm)
A valide example :
Code: Select all
wxT(" Non-english character : \u00FC")

I don't know about Unix, but on Windows the Console has another Codepage than the GUI (437 or something).
So, a String that is perfectly fine in a GUI app will be garbage in the console.
I never used Unicode, so dunno if it matters in Unicode-Build.

hello,
In windows console, you can specify the codepage with the command "chcp" :
in program :
Code: Select all
system("chcp 1252");
_setmbcp(1252);
printf("García");
system("pause");
be sure to use a TrueType font (see the console properties)
that is enable to display wide characters.
A second thing that could help :
with gcc compiler, you can specify the codepage of the editor, with the option : -finput-charset=CP1252
By default, utf8 is used.
With msw compiler, I guess it is CP1252.
