something like this, perhaps?
c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #include <iostream>
  2.  
  3. enum { HEIGHT = 8, WIDTH = 8 };
  4.  
  5. const char* const C_bitmap[HEIGHT] =
  6. {
  7.   "********\n", "********\n",
  8.   "**\n", "**\n", "**\n", "**\n",
  9.   "********\n", "********"
  10. };
  11.  
  12. int main()
  13. {
  14.   for( int i=0 ; i<HEIGHT ; ++i )
  15.     std::cout << C_bitmap[i] ;
  16.   std::cout << '\n' ;
  17. }

what are the errors? and which compiler are you using?

> if i want to hav the letter D il have to do the whole "*********\n", "** **\n", ..... thing is it??
yes, you need one pattern for each letter. and a look-up mechanism to get to the right pattern given a particular letter.

> im a super beginner!
perhaps you could attempt something simpler. eg. display a name like this:
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  ***********************
  2.  *                     *
  3.  *  Aureliano Buendia  *
  4.  *                     *
  5.  ***********************
