How to write Unicode characters to the console?

Question

I was wondering if it was possible, in a console application, to write characters like ℃ using .NET. When I try to write this character, the console outputs a q

Answer 1

I found some elegant solution on MSDN

System.Console.Write('\uXXXX') //XXXX is hex Unicode for character

This simple program writes ℃ right on the screen.

using System;

public class Test
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Console.Write('\u2103'); //℃ character code
    }
}
