I've discovered that if you have a console set to code page 65001 (UTF-8) and use WriteConsoleA (the non-wide version) with UTF-8 encoded strings, the console displays the text properly! So the solution seems to be, when outputting to a utf8 console use WriteConsoleA. David -- David Sankel Sankel Software www.sankelsoftware.com 585 617 4748 (Office)
