Punctuation gives stange characters using cout

[Wim1976]

The following code gives a strange result on the screen with the character ë, also other punctuations gives unreadable output. What do I wrong?

#include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    cout << "patiënt";
 
}

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "patiënt";
    
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Are you using Qt Creator?

In Qt Creator 3.0.1, on Ubuntu 13.10 works fine for me.

Aditionally you can try other character types.

You might not be doing anything wrong, but the two encodings might not match.

E.g. if your file encoding is UTF-8 and your console encoding is not, or vice versa.
