My programming is displaying the alpha character rather than what I want?

sepetoner (62)
I am trying to get the program to display the dealers hand, and then the players hand. This works. But when I call the hit() function, the dealers hand turns into "X (alpha)" and I don't know why. I am assuming that I am using the friend function wrong?

int main()

    Player pstart;
    Dealer dstart;

    dstart.deal(); //displays the dealers hand just fine
    pstart.deal(); //displays the players hand just fine

    char hitstay;

    cin >> hitstay;
   if (hitstay == 'h')
        pstart.hit(); //this is where my problem occurs.  When it displays the dealers hand, it gives "X (alpha)", rather than "X (the num I want)".


    return 0;
}
