#chr NUMBER

#chr

Returns the character represented by that NUMBER in the character set. For example, chr(65) is "A" in either ASCII or Unicode, and chr(0x263a) is a Unicode smiley face (but only within the scope of a use utf8). For the reverse, use "ord". See utf8 for more about Unicode.

If NUMBER is omitted, uses $_.
