Need C++ expert to find why my content variable shows junk characters in c++ program

Question

Need to identify why is my Variable named content showing junk characters as "ÿþE".

Below is my code :

std::ifstream ifs("D:\vstudio\ConsoleApplication3\DebugExport_20190617090328.txt");

std::string content(
    (std::istreambuf_iterator<char>(ifs)),
    std::istreambuf_iterator<char>()
);

Answer 1

some operations like cout convert string into signed char*. signed char cannot show special letters like é, î, ², ~ and many others. Then they are converted into some strange letters like these you mentioned above.
