    ASCII extended

    i need to print extended ASCII characters, such as '\xEA' or '\x02', in the console . i've tried char and wchar_t with cout but can't get them to display the right character. i either get ? marks. now i am trying ncurses but with same result(?).
    i am running Redhat 8, is it possible to show these extended characters in the console just <iostream>. ?

    You can output them as hex to see their values.

    cout <<hex <<c;
    or
    printf ("%x", c);

    As for printing them, they're in the non-printable range, so you're going to have a job doing so. You might find that some are mapped to something sensible looking if you're lucky.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
