Why won't my console display the copyright symbol ©?

I am trying to write a C# console application the displays the copyright symbol ©. According to this StackOverflow answer that should be possible. However, on my Windows 8 console display I get the lowercase letter c printed out. What could be wrong?

Found the solution. Add this before your Console.WriteLine commands:

Console.OutputEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;

That same sample you linked to works if I do that.

Marking this as community wiki since I'm not really the one who knew the answer.

Are you using a custom font for your console? If so, that font may not have support for the (c) character.
