Problem with Arduino Serial Monitor encoding

I have an arduino uno. i have coded it to print a line on a computer serial port for each interval of time. actually the problem is not about printing but the problem is printing characters. i have coded to print the characters in english but it appears in the serial monitor to be some other characters than the English. so as far i understand is somewhere messing up with something like encoding the characters. please do suggest how can i correct it . any suggestion will much appreciated and thanks in advance.....

Sorry guys Problem solved!!!
Actually the failure and the encoding error was due the mismatched baud rate in the program and the serial monitoring interface!!!
So no need to reply and thanks once again!
