how to get spcecial charecter input and store in char or string variable? special characters means © or ž
<pre><code>// Microsoft visual studio 2010

#include &lt;iostream&gt;
#include &lt;string&gt;

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char password;
    string strPassword;

    cin &gt;&gt; password; // only for single character 
    cin &gt;&gt; strPassword // for string storage

    /* 1. but when I give input © it will store as single character c, not as ©.
    I want to store it as © in my variable 'password' or 'strPassword' so  that I can compare it with my pre-stored password
    2. I also want to know about stdint.h 
   what is it ? why we need it and how it helps us (especially for streaming).
