None, unfortunately: the C library which is used by the DJGPP port does 
not support non-ASCII characters the way wcout needs it.  The best you 
can hope for is to use the single non-ASCII character set defined by the 
upper half of the 256-character codepage which is loaded into your DOS 
session.

Adding support for multibyte and wide characters is a lot of work, and no 
one has yet stepped forward to do that in full.
