	##//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.

	- The string type suffix "$" is obligatory in the //[[CompilerOptlang|-lang qb]]// dialect.
	- The string type suffix "$" is optional in the //[[CompilerOptlang|-lang fblite]]// dialect.
	- The string type suffix "$" is forbidden in the //[[CompilerOptlang|-lang fb]]// dialect.

{{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.
