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.
