CHAR function

CHAR finds and returns a character in Unicode character map by the number. The number is between 1 and 255.

Syntax

CHAR(number)

number indicates which character in the Unicode character map is to be returned.

Note: The Unicode character map is different from the Windows™ ANSI character map or the MAC character map, according to the user's client. You cannot refer to the client's character map unless you use a server-side formula calculation.

When number is of [128, 255], the returned characters might be different in IBM® Connections Docs and IBM Symphony® in various locales, because the character maps used in IBM Docs (browser) and Symphony (client-side applications) are different.

Example

=CHAR(82) returns R.

=CHAR(255) returns ÿ.
