Unicode on (Win32) console

[Greisby]

Hi,

I'm trying to output unicode in a (Win32) console application, without success until now.
I read on a thread that I should use a QTextStream for this. I tried but did not get any output.

Here my code:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
 
    QTextStream qStdOut(stdout, QIODevice::WriteOnly);
//    qStdOut.setCodec("UTF-16");
    QString unicodeString(QChar(0x9788));
    qStdOut << QString("QTextStream: ") << unicodeString << QChar('\n');
    std::cout << "cout: " << (char*)unicodeString.utf16() << std::endl;
    printf("printf: %ls\n", unicodeString.utf16());
 
    return a.exec();
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    QTextStream qStdOut(stdout, QIODevice::WriteOnly);
//    qStdOut.setCodec("UTF-16");
    QString unicodeString(QChar(0x9788));
    qStdOut << QString("QTextStream: ") << unicodeString << QChar('\n');
    std::cout << "cout: " << (char*)unicodeString.utf16() << std::endl;
    printf("printf: %ls\n", unicodeString.utf16());

    return a.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The output I get is:

cout: êù
printf:

The standard cout/printf don't output unicode, and the QTextStream nothing at all... no "QTextStream: ☼"
Is there something I missed?
