I''m not sure how you output your text, but you can do something like this:
cout << "Blah, Blah" << (char) 15 << "Blah, Blah";

You can output non-keyboard characters without ugly casts using something like this:
cout << ''\x57'';
Which will print out the letter ''W''. Similarly you can do this with any character. Note that the ''x'' signifies that the 57 is in hex.
cout << ''\x57'';
Which will print out the letter ''W''. Similarly you can do this with any character. Note that the ''x'' signifies that the 57 is in hex.

Thanks, I''ll try that as well as the cout<< (char) 243;

All I need to say is this:
I know this really doesn't anser your questions, but maybe in your code you could find a way to use the CHAR_INFO and WriteConsole Output for your maps. I hope I helped you a little.
