Hi, import std.stdio; alias immutable(wchar)[] String; writeln(str); // It prints garbage on console. In Java and Go, that just works. I believe UTF-X is handles that. How to do that within D? Yes. I am still new to D. No. I am not japanese but chinese. Matthew Ong

If you're on Windows, you need to set the proper codepage for the
console, you can do it programmatically like so:
version(Windows)
{
import std.c.windows.windows;
extern(Windows) BOOL SetConsoleOutputCP(UINT);
}
void main()
{
version(Windows) SetConsoleOutputCP(65001);
writeln("Hello, world; or =CE=9A=CE=B1=CE=BB=CE=B7=CE=BC=CE=AD=CF=81=CE=
=B1 =CE=BA=CF=8C=CF=83=CE=BC=CE=B5; or =E3=81=93=E3=82=93=E3=81=AB=E3=81=A1=
=E3=81=AF =E4=B8=96=E7=95=8C");
}
You would also need a Unicode-aware font, maybe Lucida or something
similar. Typically fixed-point fonts used for programming have little
support for Unicode characters, and you would get back a black or
white box like "[]".

Oh yeah cmd.exe doesn't really have that many font options. Personally I use console2 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/ , which has font options and nice things compared to cmd.exe. (It's really just a GUI wrapper with some extras).

Try using the hex unicode characters like this:
"\u0123"
I don't think decimal characters like you put work in D strings.
The &name; syntax sometimes works but only for named chars, and
you need to put a \ before them like this:
writeln("\“ hello \”");
Prints:
hello
You'll have to make sure your console is set to a unicode code
page though. This might be done automatically on Windows; I'm
not sure.

Matthew Ongconsoles tend not to display Unicode, generally you need to tell it to use a font that supports it and I've heard people say you can pass a string to the console to say the output is unicode. This has been the only issue I've seen people have, D operates just fine with Unicode.
