I have a problem with this compiler: When I try to write in the output a
character with accent or an ñ or ¿ or ¡, the (at this moment console)
program writes other character, a phi for í, beta for á, more-or-less
for ñ...
I found a page in www.cplusplus.org with the unicode for characters, and
I tried them with the cout.put() function, and it didn't work. I found
the official page of unicode http://unicode.org, and neither, now  it
writes something like 0xffffffffffffffff. And I haven't find anymore
about it. What can I do?  I CANNOT FORGIVE ME (and nobody) WRITE A BAD
LANGUAGE IF IT IS MINE COUNTRY LANGUAGE. IF I AM SPANISH I MUST SPEAK
AND WRITE PERFECT SPANISH. (i forgive to those who are not spanish or
spanish speaker countries, of course)

In regard to the Chris Hague message about .rc files, I have the same
problem, and I sorry because I don't know solve it, I say for know you
that that problem is not only for one person. I have the same with the
bitmap item. And with the font item it doesn't load the fonts.

So in Dev-C++ 5, it would be nice to make a compiler with support for
international characters in an easy way, avoiding the need of
questioning how to do it (support for unicode). (Or make it work fine).
And solve those problems. That can seem *not-to-this-list-questions* but
that *can-discover-some-fails-of-this-program*.
*or-foolishness-of-who-sends-it*

I think this problem will go away if you don't write to the console,
but to a window. Probably the console uses another codepage (for ASCII
characters > 127) as dev-c++ (or any other windows editor, it seems).
I don't know how you can use these characers in a console, but probably
you will have to translate them to some old DOS codepage. Maybe you
can find info at microsoft. (http://msdn.microsoft.com)

I never used unicode myself, but I'm almost sure that .c/.cpp source
files are always ASCII, and not unicode - so writing unicode directly
inside the source code can't work. You have to write your unicode
strings with an editor supporting unicode (i'm not sure if it could
be integrated into dev-c++), and then you can display them in your
program, e.g. by using the Win32 API.
