GTK+ 2.24. How to use unicode symbols in C

I want to have some unicode labels in GTK+ interface windows. How can I use it? Code:

  gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "ŲŪ");

Does not show anything in the window title bar so I guess it is because of encoding.

I am using Visual Studio 2012 and C compiler from Windows Driver Kit 7.1.0 which is outdated C99 compiler.

Update: I found this article http://owenshepherd.net/2010/the-sorry-state-of-unicode-in-c which claims that there is very poor support of unicode in C99.

if you need to use Unicode code points directly inside C, you can use the C escaped octal form; for instance, the Copyright sign © is \302\251.

this table should help you converting code points: http://utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?utf8=oct
