How do I store a Cyrillic letter in a char? Because a char stores the data using ASCII, but that doesn't include Cyrillic characters(ex: йцукенгшщз). So how can I store Cyrillic letters in a char?

1@IanRoberts, C++ I'd imagine since that's what he's tagged the question as. – user3507600 Apr 16 '14 at 15:03

@user3507600 at the time I posted my comment the question only had two tags - `char` and `ascii` – Ian Roberts Apr 16 '14 at 15:25

@IanRoberts, ah, well in that case you really didn't know did you. – user3507600 Apr 16 '14 at 15:28

If you don't want to rewrite your code to use wide characters, UTF-8 is a good way to store Unicode strings in a C string compatible format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 – Jeremy Friesner Apr 16 '14 at 15:42

Maybe I don't understood question, but try to use right codepage. CP1251 / OEM 866 / KOI8-R? There exists some codepages that may be supported by viewers and that allows to store and represent any Cyrillic symbol in single char.
