Defined in header 
 
 
<wchar.h> 
 wint_t fputwc( wchar_t ch, FILE * stream );
 (1) 
 (since C95) 
wint_t putwc( wchar_t ch, FILE * stream );
 (2) 
 (since C95) 
Writes a wide character ch to the given output stream stream.
2) May be implemented as a macro and may evaluate stream more than once.
[edit] Parameters
 ch
 -
 wide character to be written
 stream
 -
 the output stream
[edit] Return value
Returns a copy of ch on success.
On failure, returns WEOF and sets the error indicator (see ferror() ) on stream.
If an encoding error occurred, additionally sets errno to EILSEQ .
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <errno.h> #include <locale.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <wchar.h> int main(void) { setlocale (LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8"); errno = 0; if (fputwc(L'🍌', stdout ) == WEOF) { if (errno == EILSEQ ) puts ("Encoding error in fputwc."); else puts ("I/O error in fputwc."); return EXIT_FAILURE ; } }
Possible output:
🍌
