Hey guys, a simple question but i can't seem to find the answer on the net.

The question is how can I get the '�' character. Whenever I type it it comes out as a U with a squiggle on it. I think it's probally a special character but I'm not sure how to get the � out.

thanks in advance
Ade :)

� is displayed by holding alt then typing 156...alt-156. I reckon this is what you wanted?

If you are using a console to output the text you need to find a way to translate all your output to the proper codepage which your console is using, this is an indepth process and I am not willing to explain it here.

A better alternative would be to learn to create and compile your code to work with UNICODE based input and output, there are many articles on the interweb about this, actually I once was writing a book on the topic, but lack the time to complete it.

When you look at UNICODE, if you have question about how things are done, feel free to ask and I can probably help you out in a little more detail.

Good luck with your project.

as far as console output, this works, don't know if that's what you want though...

#include <stdio.h>



int main()

{

        printf("%c", 156);

        return 0;

}

note: in C.

oh sorry, for C++

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;



int main()

{

        cout<<(char) 156;

        return 0;

}

use a typecast to convert a character into it's ASCII integer value
