A question about esc character "\033[2J" ?

Question

I am a c++ new learner by myself. I met a question of using \033. My code is below as

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

#define DELAY 10000000L
#define CLS (cout << "\033[2J")
#define LOCATE(z, s) (cout << "\033[" << z << ';' << s << 'H')

int main()
{
// int x = 2, y = 2, dx = 1, speed = 0;
// string floor(80, '-'), header = "**** JUMPING BALL ****";
// cout << floor << endl;

CLS << endl;
LOCATE(1, 25) << endl;

return 0;
}

output is

?[2J
?[1;25H

\033[2J can not clear the screen and show ?[2J.

My PC is Win10 and mingw-w64\x86_64-8.1.0-win32-seh-rt_v6-rev0.
Thanks your help very much!

I my opinion, win 10 doesnt support ansi escape sequences.
You can include 'windows.h' and use system("cls"); instead👍
