This isn't related to C but to the program that shows the
output of your C program. If you tell printf() to output the
character 0x9A then it will output this character (redirect the
output to a file and you will find it in that file if you look
at it e.g. with a hex editor). The important question is how
the program that actually shows the character interprets it -
and that's unrelated to any settings within your C program. So
you have to set up the program that shows the output (on Unix
e.g. xterm, I don't know what's normally used under Windows) to
interpret the character according to the code page you want.

No, that's a misconception. Setting the locale has some influ-
ence on how printf() outputs things (e.g. if it will use a
decimal dot or a comma when outputting floating point numbers
etc.) but it can't change anything about the interpretation of
its output by a different program, the program that makes the
output from your C program appear on your screen.
