Thread: Where is my UNICODE extended wide character ?

Hello,

I am writing here because I can no wprintf() the BOX DRAWING SET character under Linux.

When I specify character number arround U+0x2500 I obtain a "+" character as box corner ; not a real corner. As horizontal line I get "-" (minus) instead of full line. My drawn line contains blank not full line.

I have set many times the "setfont" command but no effect.

Some times I can obtain character set by typing ALT+number but this number is far away of BOX DRAWING SET range according to the UNICODE table then I have not port this number inside my code.

My code look like this:

#include <wide char>
#include <stdio>
#include <locale>

wchar_t t;

t= arround 0x2500;
wprintf(L"%lc\n", t);


Thank you.
