Description
Returns the character for a specified ASCII value.
Chr returns the character with the ordinal value (ASCII value) of the byte-type expression, X. The Byte parameter is an unsigned integer value large enough to represent a character. Word or UInt16 is also appropriate, because now that the string type is Unicode, a character is represented by two bytes.
Chr is an old Pascal standard function. For clarity, you can use a typecast such as Char() or AnsiChar() depending on the character type needed.
