c++ - How I can print the wchar_t values to console?

Question

Example:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    wchar_t en[] = L"Hello";
    wchar_t ru[] = L"Привет"; //Russian language
    cout << ru
         << endl
         << en;
    return 0;
}

This code only prints HEX-values like adress. How to print the wchar_t string?

Edit: This doesn’t work if you are trying to write text that cannot be represented in your default locale. :-(

Use std::wcout instead of std::cout.

wcout << ru << endl << en;
