$CHAR

1977 Version of ANSI Standard

3.2.8 Functions function

$C[HAR]( L intexpr )

returns a string whose length is the number of argument expressions which have integer values in the closed interval [0,127]. Each intexpr in that interval maps into the ASCII character whose code is the value of intexpr; this mapping is order-preserving. Each negative-valued intexpr maps into no character in the value of $C. Any intexpr whose value is greater than 127 is erroneous.

See also the transition diagram for $Char.
