    C can do this: put yourself in a utf-8 locale, run an editor, type:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <wchar.h>
    #include <locale.h>
    wchar_t *hello = L"你好";

    int main(void) {
            setlocale(LC_ALL,"");
            wprintf(L"%ls\n", hello);
            return 0;
    }

    Compile with gcc -std=c99 test.c -o test
    run it, you're done!

    Regards,
    Samuel
