Euro sign

[fukki]

Hello!

I tried to copy it from character map but doesn`t work.

Is it able to print (cout) a eurosign ?

With a little search i read somewhere that is no possible to display non-ASCII characters to the console. Is that true ?

That depends entirely on the console.
On most cout << "€"; will work just fine.

On most cout << "€"; will work just fine.

This is true for most Linux terminals I think, since Linux terminals accept UTF-8 by default. However it certainly isn't the case on Windows.



Outputting Unicode to the windows console is possible, but it's a lot of work. There was a big thread on it over a year ago... maybe I can dig it up...

As you can see it's quite a hassle, so it probably isn't worth it for you.
