Re: echo proper string in different consoles?

[zolern]

I have similar problem, but with Cyrillic output on several Windows (XP, 7, 
10). The best I did was to use low level routine SetOutputConsole to control 
the output. You can use GetOutputConsole to save current setting and restore it 
on application end. I hope something like this will be useful for you:

module **console.nim**: 
    
    
    # Low-level & OS specific routines
    proc getConsoleOutputCP(): cint
       {. importc: "GetConsoleOutputCP", stdcall, dynlib: "kernel32" .}
    proc setConsoleOutputCP(codepage: cint): cint
       {. stdcall, dynlib: "kernel32", importc: "SetConsoleOutputCP", 
discardable .}
    
    let originalOutCP = getConsoleOutputCP()
    
    proc setConsole*(codepage: cint = 65001)  =
       discard setConsoleOutputCP(codepage)
    
    proc restoreConsole* =
       discard setConsoleOutputCP(originalOutCP)
    

Application: 
    
    
    import console
    
    setConsole(936)
    
    echo "你好"
    
    restoreConsole()
