Terminal control/Display an extended character

From Rosetta Code
Terminal control/Display an extended character is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

The task is to display an extended (non ascii) character onto the terminal. For this task, we will display a £ (GBP currency sign).

Ada

<lang ada>with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO; with Ada.Characters.Latin_1;

procedure Pound is begin 

  Put(Ada.Characters.Latin_1.Pound_Sign);

end Pound;</lang>

Ada allows Unicode characters in the source, and provides output functions on "wide characters".

<lang ada>with Ada.Wide_Text_IO; use Ada.Wide_Text_IO;

procedure Unicode is begin 

  Put("札幌");

end Unicode;</lang>

BASIC

ZX Spectrum Basic

The ZX Spectrum uses a modified ascii character set that has a uk pound sign at character number 96:

<lang basic>10 PRINT CHR$(96);</lang>

J

<lang J> '£' £ 

  '札幌'

札幌</lang>

Locomotive Basic

<lang basic>10 PRINT CHR$(163)</lang>

PicoLisp

<lang PicoLisp>(prinl (char 26413) (char 24140)) # Sapporo </lang> Output: 

札幌

PureBasic

<lang PureBasic>Print(Chr(163))</lang>
