SD Card Initilization & dislplay Char through serial port

[w_bwr]

I am trying to interface SD card with ST10276e controller.
During Initializing SD card don't go to IDLE State. SD card returns a 8bit data to every command send, which tells the status of the command.
I have declared a character type variable "ucStatus" to hold the returned token.
I want to display it on my screen through serial port.
I have tried SerialPrint(ucStatus); but it prints an alien character.

How can i display it.

unsigned char SD_Init(void)
{

unsigned int i; unsigned int retry=0;
unsigned char ucStatus, SDVersion;
for (i=0;i<10; i++)
	SPITransmit(0xFF);

CS_low(); 

do 
	{
	ucStatus = SD_SendCommand(GO_IDLE_STATE,0);
	if (retry++ > 0xFF)
		{
		SerialPrint("Failed to be in Idle State\r\n");
		SerialPrint(ucStatus);
	   	return 1;
		}
	}
	while (ucStatus != 0x01);

CS_high();
