CHR$

The CHR$ function converts a numeric code (usually an integer) into a corresponding character. In other words, it takes a number and returns the character associated with that number in the ASCII table.

You can combine multiple CHR$ to create strings of specific characters, and insert special characters, such as control characters or non-printing characters, using their ASCII codes. In some applications, CHR$ can be used to encode or decode information, because ASCII table associates a unique number with each character used in computers. The first 32 codes (0 through 31) represent control characters, such as the newline character or tabulator. Codes 32 through 127 represent printable characters, such as letters, numbers, and symbols.
