Are you printing directly to STDOUT? It may just be that wherever you're printing it to is unable to display the character correctly.

    Hi! Yes, I am directly printing it to STDOUT. Can't I do that? Thanks,
      You can print to STDOUT, but if STDOUT happens to be e.g. a DOS window, it may not display all characters properly. Make sure whatever you're displaying the characters on will normally display that character correctly.
