UTF-16 strings or characters (std::wstring or wchar_t) are the best method of assigning and printing special symbols. UTF-8 encoding using std::string can be used to minimise memory consumption but still requires conversion to wide-string for printing purposes. However, if the symbols are within the range of extended ASCII character codes (0x00 to 0xff), then an unsigned char or std::string is all you really need.
