tcl: how to print UTF-8 text to stdout on Windows
Comment
1 / 1
To print UTF-8 text to stdout in Tcl on Windows, you need to configure the encoding settings appropriately. Here's how you can do it:
tcl# Set the desired encoding for stdout to UTF-8
encoding system utf-8
# Open stdout in binary mode to preserve UTF-8 characters
chan configure stdout -translation binary
# Print UTF-8 text to stdout
puts [encoding convertto utf-8 "Your UTF-8 text here"]
In this example, we set the encoding of stdout
to UTF-8 using the encoding system utf-8
command. Then, we configure stdout
to operate in binary mode using chan configure stdout -translation binary
to preserve the UTF-8 characters properly.
Finally, we use puts
to print the UTF-8 text to stdout
. The encoding convertto utf-8
command is used to ensure that the text is properly encoded as UTF-8 before printing.
By following these steps, you should be able to print UTF-8 text to stdout
correctly in Tcl on Windows.
