C# incorrect textfile output
<p>I am currently building a card game and everything works fine when I write output to the console.
However, when I write to a file, the suit associated with each card becomes a strange set of 4 different characters. Instead of printing the Heart, Diamond, Club and Spade symbols as defined in an ASCII table, the file produces 4 different characters that include - and |. The other two characters look like tiny super-scripted L's.</p>

<pre><code>public enum SUIT { HEART = 0, DIAMOND = 1, CLUB = 2, SPADE = 3 };
public enum VALUE { NINE = 0, JACK = 1, QUEEN = 2, KING = 3, TEN = 4, ACE = 5 };
public static string printCard(PinochleCard theCard)  
//This card game uses a set of 5 card denominations
    {
        string cardS = "";

        switch (theCard.cardValue)
        {
            case VALUE.ACE:
                cardS += 'A';
                break;
            case VALUE.TEN:
                cardS += "10";
                break;
            case VALUE.KING:
                cardS += 'K';
                break;
            case VALUE.QUEEN:
                cardS += 'Q';
                break;
            case VALUE.JACK:
                cardS += 'J';
                break;
            case VALUE.NINE:
                cardS += '9';
                break;
        }
        cardS += (char)(theCard.suit + 3);   // +3 converts to heart, diamond, club, spade in
        return cardS.PadRight(4);            //   the console but not for files
    }
</code></pre>

<p>Next I call this function in a loop to print a users hand. </p>

<p>Thanks for all the help!</p>
