print hexadecimal with capital letters

I'm trying to print the Unicode value of a wide character like so:

wchar_t w = '\u00A1';   // U+00A1 Inverted Exclamation Mark ¡
wprintf("U+%.4x",w);    // prints U+00a1

I'd like the output to be U+00A1 instead of U+00a1. Is there a printf specifier to do this or will I have to do it manually?

Solution

  • Guess that was pretty simple, use %X instead of %x.

    wchar_t w = '\u00A1';   // U+00A1 Inverted Exclamation Mark ¡
wprintf("U+%.4x",w);    // prints U+00A1
