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. Note that characters from 128
to 255 (inclusive) are by default not encoded in UTF-8 Unicode for
backward compatibility reasons (but see the encoding manpage).
If NUMBER is omitted, uses $_
.
For the reverse, use ord in the perlfunc manpage.
Note that under the bytes
pragma the NUMBER is masked to
the low eight bits.
See the perlunicode manpage and the encoding manpage for more about Unicode.
