wcout.imbue(std::locale("chs"));
wchar_t *a = L"☻";
wcout << *a;
It's not work, why? What should I do?

Use an unicode font in your console, e.g. "Lucida console fonts" – David Ranieri Apr 19 '16 at 06:33

What does 'not work' mean? Nothing happens? It prints something else? – Jongware Apr 19 '16 at 06:34

What compiler and what platform (confirm it supports Chinese) are you using? – Niall Apr 19 '16 at 06:36

Possible errors:
- Your compiler is possibly not recognising the
L"☻"as a unicode string in the source file. - Your console doesn't support it
You could use the unicode character code for it instead ("\u263B"). Make sure the console supports unicode and that the font has a corresponding character for it.
It may also be easier (depending on the compiler support) to use the unicode character literals for C++ 11;
char a[] = u8"My \u263B character";
cout << a;

I'm not sure how much standard unicode support is in the "wide" implementations in Windows. But as you post the code, you should use `wchar_t` and `wprintf` etc. for the wide versions of the C++ runtime. – Niall Apr 19 '16 at 07:04

This should work (u8 since c++11):
char smiley[] { u8"\u263b" };
cout << smiley << '\n';
Or you could also just do:
char smiley[] { "\u263b" };
cout << smiley << '\n';
