Displaying Extended ASCII

[JMJ_coder]

Hello,

I am writing a program with curses and I am wondering how can I output a character from the extended ASCII set - like character 201, a corner?

I have tried cut and paste from a word processor that shows them into my text editor (nvi, gvim), but the text editor doesn't display them properly (I get an upside down question mark).

You can use \x to express a character by its value, so 201 would probably be '\xc9'.

That is probably because character 201 has different meaning in different code-pages.
A code-page is the translation between character code [in this case 201] and the glyph [technical name for "some character or part of character", e.g. a corner piece of a box or an upside down question mark, etc, etc].
