Function Name:
chr
Function Signature:
chr(i)
Return Value:
The numeric value of the Unicode character string.
Function Overview:
- The Unicode specification defines the mapping between a character and how it is represented in computer systems using a numeric value. This mapping is called encoding.
- The numeric value is called a code point. The whole collection of code points is called codespace.
- The chr() built-in function in Python converts a numeric value or code point into a string containing the character. The mod() function does the opposite of chr(), given a character it returns the code point.
Example:
|
# Example Python program that returns the Unicode codepoint of a given # Unicode character string value1 = 85 value2 = 1028
character1 = chr(value1) character2 = chr(value2)
print(character1) print(character2) |
