How to use UTF-8 in C code?

Question

My setup: gcc-4.9.2, UTF-8 environment.

The following C-program works in ASCII, but does not in UTF-8.

Create input file:

echo -n \'привет мир\'          


        

Answer 1

Probably your test.c file is not stored in UTF-8 format and for that reason "привет мир" string is ASCII - and the comparison failed. Change text encoding of source file and try again.
