  Tried that, but it made the output worse.

  Additionally I tried adding wchar.h to includes and declaraing 'symb' 
  as wchar_t. Yet got the same result. Here's the result of running 
  ipraytime after using %lc in the printf's:

Prayer schedule for,
 City             : القاهرة
 Latitude         : 030 Longitude        : 031 Angle Method     : Egyptian General Authority of Survey (Egypt)
 TimeZone         : UTC+2.0
 Qibla            : 137


  As you would notice, the long/lat minutes & seconds dissappeared, and so is the newline chars.
  Can't understand why this happened!
