The problem isn't with your program, it's with the code page your command prompt is using.
Assuming this is Windows:
Open a cmd prompt and run chcp. That will tell you what code page you are using.
It's probably 437. That was the original IBM DOS code page (at least in the US).
Now, to change the code page:
chcp 1252
Run your program. Does it display properly now?
