I have tried switching the font on notepad to Microsoft Sans Serif using the special characters. The characters where displayed correctly, but when i saved the file, it prompted me to save the file with unicode encoding to support these characters. In doing this i tried to compile the file and i recieved lots of errors like ... "C:\file.cpp:182:1: warning: null character(s) ignored"

Saving with ANSI encoding does not support these characters, and unicode generates lots of errors.
