Using OpenWatcom v1.9 for Linux, how do I print unicode characters to a terminal (xterm)? Using gcc 4.8.2 on Ubuntu, the following works:

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main() {
        printf("hello, world\n");
        printf("\u2500\u2501\u25b6\u25ba\u27a4\n");
        return 0;
    }

Printing: hello, world Then some unicode characters on the next line.

But when I use OW v1.9, it just prints:

hello, world u2500u2501

Thanks for any help!
