Printing chars to console and to a *.txt file

[Ducky]

Hi,

I'm parsing a website and I'm trying to print out a character
- it prints ┬ ( 194 dec = C2 hex ) to the console
- in a file it prints  (there isn't even an ASCII character like this)
- and prints -62 to the console if I use (int) before it

I cant see any connection between these numbers.
Apparently 194 and -62 prints out the same character.
194 -256 = -62
I'm a bit confused.

What character set is the HTML page using?

What is the type of the variable you are trying to retrieve these characters into?

Ok I understand, so it depends from a lot of things.
I'm trying to retrieve it into a C++ string. The web page is Expedia.com so it's probably unicode.
