Make Leonardo write non ascii characters?!

Hello Stranger

So I have a Leonardo which should write a line of text similar to this one: 'qQjyDh48m87L0HY5xtcNNrDrEm_OPcDCHJgMMhu3-pQ='
Now my problem, it seems that the mcu is only capable of writing ASCII characters. (So =, _ and ') don't work if i understand that correctly. Now i wonder if there is a way to actually get the Arduino to write these characters.

Thanks in advance for your help

How did you get them to appear in your post, then? All three of the characters you mention are in the ASCII table. = is 61, ' is 39, and _ is 95.

???

= is ASCII 61
and so on, I am too lazy to look it up for you.

I thought those werent in the table because instead of a - I get a ' and the = is the ^ key. This is my actual problem. I tested it with the number and the hex code, still same issue. I have a feeling, that it uses the wrong keyboard layout, but I'm unsure.

Edit: Found this which solved my question. Leonardo: Keyboard write > wrong character - IDE 1.x - Arduino Forum

A tiny detail that would have been a good idea to mention right away. :wink:
