This depends on your console environment. If you're using extended ascii, you can "print chr(156);". If you're using utf8, you can "print chr(163);".

We can't predict what type of encoding that you're using, so we can't really tell you how to accomplish this.

The code is in a file test.php, which I have typed in at the bottom of this post (please excuse any typos). This page is not a production page - I created it just to try and solve the £ sign problem I am having. When I put the pound sign (£) into the input box and submit the form,

Hi there, I am using the .Net XML Serialization classes to create XML strings. This has been working fine up until the point that one of the strings contained a pound sterling symbol. The application that is processing the output complains about the character. Both the strings and the application are using UTF-8. If you view the text in Notepad the pound symbol looks fine, but if you view the hex, there is a character preceding the...

Hi, 'C' says \ is the escape character to be used when characters are to be interpreted in an uncommon sense, e.g. \t usage in printf(), but for printing % through printf(), i have read that %% should be used. Wouldn't it have been better (from design perspective) if the same escape character had been used in this case too. Forgive me for posting without verfying things with any standard compiler, i don't have the means for now.

When using StreamReader/Writer to process an input text file to an output text file the pound signs (£) simply disappear. Sample code: StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("input.txt"); StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("output.txt"); string Line; char delimiter = {'*'}; while((Line = sr.ReadLine()) != null) { string Fields;

I would like to print two reports a once. The first report is a sign sheet; the second is an order form. The sign sheet contains the same information as the order form but has a different layout. The subform sometimes contains multiple records, currently if I have four records in the subform, and when I print these reports, it will print the first four signs followed by the four order form records. If I want ten copies each of the order...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
