I can't comment on the other items, but printf or NSLog always simply
print what they get as a byte stream.
So, if you do a printf("%s", [@"äöü" UTF8String]); you will get UTF-8
characters to the console.

Now, the Terminal of OS X and Linux may interpret that as UTF-8 .
While the console you use
on Windows may interpret it differently. So, you should probably make
the character encoding of
your terminal match the encoding that is sent by printf.
