How to manage OEM 866 encoding

<< < (2/2)

Xavier65:
Nope.  It is either way:
1) It's all good in Notepad++ (Cyrillic symbols), but upon loading the main.c file with OEM 866 encoding the Code::Blocks editor shows abracadabra (see the screenshot).  Most importantly, the console shows correct symbols!
2) The Code::Blocks editor shows the Cyrillic right (within the code), but when I compile and run the console outputs abracadabra.
When I load the saved main.c file with OEM 866 encoding back into Code::Blocks the editor doesn't provide the Windows 866 encoding.

So, that's what I meant earlier.  It is half the solution.  What I need is to see nice and neat Cyrillic in the editor and the console app, not just in one of them.  And as a perfectionist I'd prefer to get permanent solution to the problem, i. e. tweak something (the Windows registry, the Code::Blocks config file etc) so that I don't have to use the twisted approach suggested in the other two threads (include something [I don't understand fully] in every C project itself [no matter how small] that I run for self-education purposes).  There's gotta be a solution, and I think it's very simple!

I was talking about the settings in settings->Editor->Encoding settings->Use encoding when opening...

Well obviously on both threads i describe the same way to use utf-8 as default encoding.. this solves all problems, is permanent, and is able to use ANY language on the world to work without problems, or future modifications... And on both threads the user describe that my descriptions leads to success.... On top of all this all your projects will work on any operating system (mac, linux or windows) and you can not say this with the cp866 solution...

anyway... I don't see how codeblocks can change something. We use the wxWidgets default functions to read all system encodings. So if they are not listed in this list there is something wrong in the wxWidgets code. And we can do anything about this...
