What is the ASCII Code of ½?

I want to print the value ‘½’ in a file. I searched for the ascii value of this as Alt+(ascii Value) will give you the same. To my surprise I found 2 ascii values for this symbol in various sites. One is 171 and the other is 189.

I tried to write this symbol by using 171 and 189. Again to my surprise, if I am writing in Windows, 171 will give me this symbol. But if I am writing in UNIX, 189 will give me this symbol.

I was aware that there cant be 2 ASCII Values for a same symbol. But I got 2 valid codes for the same symbol in different OS. So can anyone tell what is the real ASCII Code for the symbol ½ ??
