Adding Unicode/UTF8 chars to a ncurses display in C

Question

I\'m attempting to add wchar_t Unicode characters to an ncurses display in C.

I have an array:

wchar_t characters[]={L\'\\uE030\', L\'\\uE029\'}; //          


        

Answer 1

cchar_t is defined as:

typedef struct {
    attr_t  attr;
    wchar_t chars[CCHARW_MAX];
} cchar_t;

so you might try:

int add_wchar(int c)
{
    cchar_t t = {
        0, // .attr
        {c, 0} // not sure how .chars works, so best guess
    };
    return add_wch(t);
}

not at all tested, but should work.
