Hi Shlomi, [sending to the list] The number 10000 in "chcp 10000" on Windows is, I assume, a "magic number". It switches the command prompt into 16-bit-Unicode mode (=UTF-16 encoding form).
All I can say is that this works, and works at least since NT 4. I wrote a few command-line tools for NT a few years ago using the "w" versions of main(), printf(), etc., and they worked just fine. I think I switched the file mode of stdout to binary in those tools. markus Shlomi Tal wrote: > Hello Markus Scherer. > > You wrote: "chcp 10000" to change the command prompt code page to > UTF-16.
