There are two ways to display the character you want using the ASCII code.
cout << '\xA0'; and cout << char(160); display the same thing, 'á'.
cout << '\x9A'; and cout << char(154); display 'Ü', and so on.
just use '\x<hexidecimal code number>' or char(<decimal code number>) to 
display a special character.  If you want to store a string of characters, i 
would guess you need to do it character by character in a string.
