Greek character in ascii?

[acerunner316]

Is it possible to write greek characters in VC++ Dialog window? I found that the greek ascii code for alpha is 0xE0. But it didnt work. Here's my code: Cstring TempStr; TempStr.Format("%c (alpha)", 0xE0); The character displayed as an 'a' with an ascent mark.

I don't think that alpha occurs in ASCII, that's what Unicode is for.

I didn't think so either. I was shocked when my coworker showed me a chart containing greek letters. The ascii chart I know of only goes up to 7F. He showed me one that goes to FF

How do you use unicode in VC++?

It's not an ASCII[^] chart, it's a chart for some 8-bit character set, e.g. one of the ISO 8859[^] parts.
