# NAME

chr - get character this number represents

# SYNOPSIS

chr NUMBER

chr

# DESCRIPTION

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.
