title: How to use special characters in PHP in a command shell?
body: <p>For school we are forced to write a small program in BASIC or "any other language" so I will be doing it in PHP.</p>
  
  <p>I have to run it through command prompt, so thought I'd make a few improvements to the "UI" of the shell with lines etc. I used ALT+nnn to insert them into my code, but when I execute it in the shell I get weird characters in it's place.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to fix this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
