Re: [Mingw-users] putwchar not working

[Hisham S. <sue...@ya...>]

I tried both Suggestions [the one from Wu and this one suggested by Eli]. Nothing worked at least for Arabic, including piping through perl. By redirecting the Arabic output to a file I can open it and see it correct using any editor [I used emacs], but when piping through perl I get garbage or using puts or putchar or whatever. I have Windows 10 64-bit and gcc 5.3.0 (the latest)By the way if anyone is curious, the Arabic string is my first name:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {   puts(u8"هشام\n");  return 0;}

AFAIK, the only reliable way of writing non-ASCII text to the Windows
console is by using WriteConsoleW.  Did you try that?
