C# Unicode (Japanese Characters)

Question

Hello,

I have a Japanese final coming up soon, so to help me study I made a program to help me study. But, I can't seem to get VS2008 to display any Unicode in the Console. This is a sample I used to see if I could display Unicode:

    string diancai = new string(new char[]{ '\u70B9','\u83DC' });

    Console.Write(diancai[0] + " " + diancai[1]);

Output is:

    ? ?

Please help! Thank you!

Answer 1

Go to your command prompt and try a command "chcp"

It should be like this

C:\> chcp
現在のコード ページ: 932

932 is japanese, If code page is not correct or if your windows does not support, It can't display it in console.

I can run yours in mine, its display following chars, mine is japanese windows.

So, For your case, I recommand you to try with GUI program instead of console
