    can't cout << hex << 'T'; what's wrong?

    I need to evaluate a text file by it's hexadecimal values.
    I found cout << hex << 16; //works ok, but...
    cout << hex << 'T' ; //just diplays T.
    how else can I do it?

    <win2000, MS VC++6,i386, console application.>

    Cast 'T' to an int by putting "(int)" before it(w/o quotes).
