It looks like you're compiling with the Unicode character set option. Go to the project properties and under the General page change to "Use Multi-Byte Character Set". Alternately, if you want to use UTF-16 change the main() function to:

int wmain( int argc, wchar_t **argv )

Also, use std::wcout instead of std::cout to print the arguments.

Might be a character code problem. Try replacing "std::endl" with "\n" and see. Also, are you compiling as Unicode?
