Try using a hex command \x?? to insert the value. Then GCC can't complain
because \x?? means a special symbol.

And the second error occurs because the command >> is the binary shift command
or the istream receive operator. That one always makes me wonder - isn't cout <<
"Hello world!"; usually a binary shift of "cout" left a few thousand places
(because the pointer will probably in the range of 2048+ at least...), but then
C++ would considder it a re-write of the default commands. Odd but unusual way
of using the language to your advantage.
