do you not just include <wchar.h> ?

That or <cwchar> will allow me to use the C functions
wscanf, wprintf etc. I was able to try that out by changing
the "Language to use for non-Unicode programs" option to Japanese
so the console window would display/accept wide chars.

But I am curious about how to get the C++ stuff (wstring, wcin, wcout,
...)
to work. It seems to be partially controlled by _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T
being defined, but if I define it myself it still doesn't work.

I found in file c++config.h where it would be defined (it's commented
out). I tried defining it there but that doesn't work either.

As far as I know MINGW compiler that Dev-C++ so far uses, does not provide
wcout yet (and perhaps other wchar_t facilities). You can use wprintf()
instead.

Wide char are not fully implemented in mingw yet.
