ascii code and accents

[JMD]

hi,

When I type this :

printf("%c, %s, %c, %i\n", 133, "à", "à", "à");

the result is :

à, Ó, è, 4199050

In extended ascci table, the code of 'à' is 133.

How can I have the (extended) ascii code from a char string with accents ?

My main goal is to use the ascii code to find letters in a texture to write a text with accent on screen.

Doas another methode exist ?

Thanks

you need to use single quotes around your characters, not double quotes.

'c' is a character, while "s" is a string (pointer to an array of characters).

Thanks Sam.

But I tried this

printf("%c, %s, %c, %i\n", 133, "à", 'à' , 'à');

and the return is :

à, Ó, Ó, -32

i ran into a similiar problem and this is what I used.

char a='à';
int j=(int)a;
int i=(int)a &0xFF;
printf(" %c = %d not %d \n",a,i,j);

and here is the output

 à = 224 not -32
