How to really print EURO sign in c++ application console in Windows

Question

My target is to print euro sign - € in c++ application in Windows. Methods that already tried and did not working are:

#include <windows.h>
SetConsoleOutputCP(1252);
cout << "\u20a0";

also "\u20a0" did not working and without SetConsoleOutputCP(). No working solution by far. So much forums and questions, and no straight answer....

Possibly useful: [Output unicode strings in Windows console app](http://stackoverflow.com/q/2492077/583833) — Borgleader, Jan 11 '17 at 19:21
[Does not work](http://importblogkit.com/2015/07/does-not-work/) is not a useful problem description. — Algirdas Preidžius, Jan 11 '17 at 19:23

This worked for me

SetConsoleOutputCP(1252);
cout << (char)(128);

Alternatively: `cout << "\x80";` Alternatively, look at `WideCharToMultiByte()` – Remy Lebeau Jan 12 '17 at 05:25
