The putwchar() function is defined in <cwchar> header file.

Example: How putwchar() function works?
#include <cwchar>
#include <clocale>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF-8");
wchar_t start = L'\u05d0', end = L'\u05ea';
wcout << L"Hebrew Alphabets" << endl;
for (wchar_t i=start; i<=end; i++)
{
putwchar(i);
putwchar(' ');
}
return 0;
}
When you run the program, the output will be:
Hebrew Alphabets א ב ג ד ה ו ז ח ט י ך כ ל ם מ ן נ ס ע ף פ ץ צ ק ר ש ת
