Trying to output special characters to the console.
I'm trying to take an array of characters and, based on the number in the curren't array spot, output a certain character to the console, a tilemap for a little game.
mapcharacter() returns a char, and contains just a switch statement that returns the character matching the number it gets.
I want to output special characters such as the bulletpoint and Ò. d Only I'm havig trouble figuring out how to do that. I tried just giving back soemthing like "\u2022" for the bullet, using that with wcout, messing with codeblock's encoding settings, and a number of other things but can't get it to work. How do you do this?
cout << mapcharacter(map[i][j]) << " ";mapcharacter() returns a char, and contains just a switch statement that returns the character matching the number it gets.
