Can anyone point me to a list of such common special characters and their c++ encodings? My attempts at a google search have been inconclusive. Thanks :cheesy:
There's nothing standard about extended ASCII characters. the extended ASCII code for that character in your IDE's font is obviously different to the code in your output console's font.

using this code, the character é yields a value of -126 on my system
