Output unicode strings in Windows console app

Question

Hi I was trying to output unicode string to a console with iostreams and failed.

I found this: Using unicode font in c++ console app and this snippet work

I had a similar problem, Output Unicode to console Using C++, in Windows contains the gem that you need to do chcp 65001 in the console before running your program.

There may be some way of doing this programatically, but I don't know what it is.
