I couldn’t display a ‘bullet’ of character code DEC 149 which can be found on ASCII Chart.
cout << char(149) << endl;
it comes out as ò on console window. I know a few characters from charmap that I’d like to use but how would i know their character codes?
The problem is that ASCII only defines character codes 0 through 127. If you want to use codes above that, then you need to specify an ANSI code page. The chart you referenced is using the Latin-1 code page and your console is apparently using something else.
You need to set your console code page to Latin-1 for your characters to display as desired. There’s no standard C++ way to do this. If you’re programming on Windows, you can use the SetConsoleOutputCP() function. The code page id for Latin-1 on Windows is 1252.
