title: what is the codepage or encoding for unsigned char 140, unicode 0x0152 = 338?
body: <p>Probably a programmer read up on the fundamentals of encoding, but my specific question is</p>
  
  <p>In windows Visual C output to Windows console, the unsigned char value 140 prints as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters" rel="nofollow">unicode 0x0152</a> = 338.</p>
  
  <p>What encoding (or "code page"?) is Visual C using?  (e.g. UTF-7, ASCII). How exactly is unsigned char value 140 mapping to the unicode character 338?</p>
  
  <p>I'm sure anyone can paste a link to one of the many wikipedia pages on encoding or a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters" rel="nofollow">tables</a> on the web, but a more specific answer to the question would be nice.</p>
