Displaying extended characters in ncurses

In ASCII, and all of those charactersets that incorporate ASCII codepoints (including Unicode), the first 32 characters donothave printable glyphs. They are 'effectors' (aka 'control characters'), not printable characters.
When you try to print the 27'th character from any of these charactersets, you are trying to print the ESCape controlcode. ESCape does not have a glyph.
I have used Linux but I prefer windows because it is more universally accepted and I find that things just work. I tried using Linux on my dorm system last year by dual...
Are you perhaps trying to print the 27'th glyph, rather than the 27'th character?
Not without you being clearer about what you want it to display. If you give it a control character, it will handle itas a control character-. If you give it a printable character, it will handle itas a printable character-.
I don't know, but I would suspect that you can. You'll have to set the end environment characterset to match your program's characterset in order to get the 'correct' output from ncurses (oranyconsole program).
