[FIXED] What is the output of the array / pointer in this c code

Issue

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main()
     {

     char*str="↔⬆🙂12345";
     printf("%d",*str );
     return 0;
   }

please help me to find the output of the given code

Solution

Assuming the file is encoded using UTF-8, the string consists of these bytes in hex:

E2 86 94 E2 AC 86 F0 9F 99 82 31 32 33 34 35

On a system where char means unsigned char, the first char is 226.

On a two's-complement system where char means signed char, the first char is -30.

On a one's-complement system where char means signed char, the first char is -29.

This value will be promoted to an equivalent int, passed to printf, and printed.
