ok some of the older members may remember how i figured out how to make special charachters in a console window. right now im working on a header that gives a name to everything so all you have to do is include the header and then cout the name and then wallah your special charachter appears. im about halfway done with it. just figured id let everyone know what im workin on right at the moment.
