Printing unicode characters with key id

[ostar2]

Hi, I want to print out unicode characters. But I want to do this using the key ids.
Example:

int main()
{
std::cout << ('124'); //I would like this to output '|'
}

int main()
{
char toRet = 124;
std::cout << toRet; //I would like this to output '|'
}
