Unable to read UTF-8 (Hebrew text) from a file in C++

Question

I have a txt file (encoded in UTF-8) that contains the following text:

שלום עולם!

I tried to read the text and print it on the screen like this:

std::wifstream file("file.txt");
std::wstring line;
while (std::getline(file, line)) {
    std::wcout << line << std::endl;
}
file.close();

But the output I get is:

╫⌐╫£╫ץ╫¥ ╫ó╫ץ╫£╫¥!

I tried:

• Using ifstream, string, cout instead of wifstream, wstring, wcout.
• Printing const hebrew string to the screen, resulting in me seeing the string properly:

_setmode(_fileno(stdout), 0x00040000);
std::wcout << L"שלום עולם!" << std::endl;

Resulting in:

שלום עולם!
