How to print Arial symbols to the console? And array problem.

TheOtherIsland (50)
Is there a way to print Unicode symbols(Arial font) to the console? Because I always get '?' instead. Also, when I set a 2D character array to have a unicode symbol in it, it seems to take up 2 chunks of the array instead of just one. Say I have the array 'Test'

char Test[8][12]={{"qqqqqqqqqqq"},
                  {"q         q"},
                  {"q         q"},
                  {"q         q"},
                  {"q         q"},
                  {"q         q"},
                  {"q         q"},
                  {"qqqqqqqqqqq"}};


That is 11 characters on each row, and 8 columns, of course. But if I add a unicode symbol

char Test[8][12]={{"qqqqqqqqqqq"},
                  {"q         q"},
                  {"q    ۩    q"},
                  {"q         q"},
                  {"q         q"},
                  {"q         q"},
                  {"q         q"},
                  {"qqqqqqqqqqq"}};


The compiler tells me that I have to many characters on that line? So I have to take out a space, which makes it look pretty ugly. Any explanation for this?

unicode is larger so will take up more space then a char, you might have to use wchar_t or something and wide string literals
