ASCII encoding does not work. There is a solution?

Question

linux

In general, I work through Mint, gcc out of the box. It is required to enter the ACII character code, and get the character itself at the output. I get the characters but not the ones I need, when I enter code 218, I get a question mark (?), And when I enter code 77, I get the character "M". What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

What you see on the screen is interpreted by your terminal.
I guess the terminal is expecting UTF-8, not ASCII, and is trying to interpret it accordingly.
gcc has nothing to do with it.
