Unicode Output Format Specifiers
Go Up to printf, wprintf
The following table shows the formatted output specifiers for the Unicode family of functions.
The table shows how the format specifier is used by printf and the Unicode family of output functions to output strings and characters:
- For the character format specifiers (%c, %C, %hc, %hC, %lc, %lC) narrow and wide refer to the type of characters char, respectively wchar_t.
- For the string format specifiers (%s, %S, %hs, %hS, %ls, %lS) narrow and wide refer to the type of character strings char*, respectively wchar_t*.
