If you can't echo the extended characters maybe you should check the character encoding you're using in your environment (like utf8, iso8859-1, cp1252 ...).
Codes greater than 127 displays different characters depending on the locale settings. On my system if I set encoding to iso8859-1 (Western European) or cp1252 (WinLatin1) the code "\0366" corresponds to the special "o" character you've mentioned (ö), while with utf8 isn't recognized. With utf8 that character is multibyte (2 bytes) and for echoing that I do:
About the cp command, I confirm that you cannot use that syntax: you may set a variable containing the complete pathname and pass that to cp, e.g.:
If you have a text file containing that special character and you want to be absolutely sure of the octal code you have to use, try this procedure: make a copy of the file, edit it and leave in the file only that single character, then save and execute:
For each character it prints out the octal code. In my case (I use echo instead of the input file):
With iso8859-1 encoding:
With utf8 encoding:
Notice that the output includes a trailing newline (\0012).
Hi all,
I would like to change the extended ascii code ( 128 - 255).
I tried to change LC_ALL and LANG in current session ( values from locale -a) and for no good.

Hi All,
I'm trying to send extended ascii characters to my HP2055 as part of PCL printer control codes. What I want to do is select a bar code font, print the bar code and reset the printer to the default font.
Selecting the bar code font works good. Printing the bar code goes almost ok too. ... (5 Replies)

Locale::Codes::LangExt(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Locale::Codes::LangExt(3pm)NAME
Locale::Codes::LangExt - standard codes for language extension identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangExt;
$lext = code2langext('acm'); # $lext gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic'
$code = langext2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm'
@codes = all_langext_codes();
@names = all_langext_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangExt" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language extensions, such as those as defined in
the IANA language registry.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language
registry codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language extensions. A code set may be specified using either a name, or
a constant that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
$lext = code2langext('acm','alpha');
$lext = code2langext('acm',LOCALE_LANGEXT_ALPHA);
The codesets currently supported are:
alpha
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'acm' for Mesopotamian Arabic.
This is the default code set.
ROUTINES
code2langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )
langext2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
langext_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
all_langext_codes ( [CODESET] )
all_langext_names ( [CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_alias ( NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )
These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
