| Extended character ASCII in LINUX/WINDOWS I am writting C program under LINUX and I would like to know how to get extended character (beyond ASCII #127). I want to draw frame arround box but extended character are different between OS. For example these usefull character in windows UTF8 does not exist for linux: ASCII dec - ASCII hex - char 179 0xB3 │ 196 0xC4 ─ 218 0xDA ┌ 192 0xC0 └ 191 0xBF ┐ 217 0xD9 ┘ etc... Also, I write the code under Windows then when viewing it under Linux all special character to print with printf() changed and become unreadable. Thank you |

| Hi If you wanto to draw windows on screen use ncurses. "man ncurses" will give you enough information, i think! See the image below, if this is what you really want! http://www4.gantep.edu.tr/~fni18444/p1.png |
