Unicode

[xyz]

Hell all,
I want to display a character from unicode.
for eg: "0951" is the code for the character "om" (devanagari script)
if i give the input I have to get the corresponding character

Thanks for any help

Make sure you #include <locale.h> and then do:

setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
printf("om (devanagari script) is %lc\n", 0x0951);

Of course, whether your terminal's font contains that character is
another question...

How to do this (and whether it is possible in the first place) depends
on your implementation, but it will probably involve use of either wide
characters (wchar_t, often direct Unicode or UTF-16) or multibyte
characters (sometimes, I don't know how often, UTF-8). See what the
manual of your implementation has to say in the sections on <wchar.h>
and <wctype.h>, and on functions like mbtowc() in <stdlib.h>.

It will also depend on the capabilities of your display device.

(Incidentally, the DEVANAGARI OM character is 0950; 0951 is DEVANAGARI
STRESS SIGN UDATTA.)
