	##//ch//##
		The [[CptAscii ASCII]] integer value of a character.

{{fbdoc item="ret"}}
	Returns a string containing the character(s).

{{fbdoc item="desc"}}
	##**Chr**## returns a string containing the character(s) represented by the [[CptAscii ASCII]] values passed to it.

	When ##**Chr**## is used with numerical constants or literals, the result is evaluated at compile-time, so it can be used in variable initializers.

	##[[KeyPgAsc ASC]]## performs the opposite function, returning the [[CptAscii ASCII]] code of a character represented by a string.

print "the character represented by";

{{fbdoc item="lang"}}
	- The string type suffix "$" is obligatory in the //[[CompilerOptlang -lang qb]]// dialect.
	- The string type suffix "$" is optional in the //[[CompilerOptlang -lang fblite]]// and //[[CompilerOptlang -lang fb]]// dialects.

{{fbdoc item="diff"}}
	- FreeBASIC accepts multiple integer values as arguments, QB accepted only one.
	- FreeBASIC evaluates the CHR function at compile time when used with constants or literals.
