How/Where would I call this?
Right at the beginning of your main, but after trying it, I don't
think this is going to fix your problem anyway... I think it is
fonts. But:
import std.stdio;
extern(Windows) int SetConsoleOutputCP(uint);
void main() {
if(SetConsoleOutputCP(65001) == 0)
throw new Exception("failure");
string String = "さいごの果\“hello\”";
writeln(String);
}
Is how you'd use it. But I just tried on my Windows 7 computer,
and the default was utf8, so the call was unnecessary. You can
try though and see what happens.
A problem I did have though was my console font didn't support
unicode. If you bring up the properties option on the console
window, under the Font tab, you can pick a font.
Raster fonts is what mine was set to, and had no unicode support.
It output gibberish.
Lucida Console gave better results - it had the right number of
characters and showed the curly quotes, but not the other
characters. Could be because I only have the English language
pack for Windows installed on my computer.
But anyway I suggest you try playing with the different fonts you
have and see what happens.
