Printing wchar_t gives strange output

Executing this piece of code:

wchar_t *wstr = L"áßå®";
wprintf(L"%s",wstr);

gives the result:

"

instead

Bßå®

I am new to wchar_t

. How do you get the expected result?

I believe you need to change your code

 wprintf(L"%s",wstr);

to



wprintf(L"%ls",wstr);

Ref: from the standard C11

, chapter §7.29.2.1, emphasis mine

l (ell)
Indicates that the next conversion specifier d, i, o, u, x, or X is applied to a long int or unsigned long int argument; that the next conversion pointer n is applied to a pointer to a long int argument; that the following conversion specifier c applies to the wint_t argument; that the next conversion pointer s

is applied to the argument pointer wchar_t

; or does not affect the following conversions a, A, e, E, f, F, g, or G specifier.
