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

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
