Tested with 2007.1 win, MSVC 2005, WinXP SP2.

UPDATE: use windows console with Lucida Console font (that which is unicode-aware).

run as:
"mycon.exe schu�b�ndig"

result:
"shu?bandig"

(the string is to contain umlauts or other symbols not in current ANSI encoding, try russian letters etc. if your current code page in WinXP contains umlauts).

Program source:

#include <iostream>

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
	const Vector<String> & cmdline = CommandLine();
	
	for(Vector<String>::ConstIterator i = cmdline.Begin();i != cmdline.End();++i) {
		std::cout << (*i).Begin() << std::endl;
	}
}

NOTE: cout actually is not a proper class to use here, but if the U++ uses wide char win32 api then the produced string would be utf-8 or so and not the word with question mark and simply "a" instead of "a umlaut"...
