Universal Character Names & cout function...

[mocitymm]

Following an example in the C++ Primer Plus 6th Edition by Stephen Prata, page 87 - here is the code I have:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
cout << "Beginning of program..." << endl;
cout << "Let them eat g\u00E2teau.\n";
cout << "End of program." << endl;

return 0;
}

The only lines displayed in the console are as follows:

Beginning of program...
Let them eat gâteau.

I've tried \n & endl in different combinations and the last line still does not print to the console... also, tried 3 different IDEs (Orwell's Dev-C++, CodeLite and CodeBlocks) they all produce the same 2 lines in the console. The compile doesn't throw any errors either.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Solved somewhat. Used 'wcout', that works. Would like a better understanding of why the buffer behaves that way, even using the 'endl' to flush the buffer.
