chr() to input Unicode code point value to return the equivalent character in Python

chr() : Getting Char using Unicode point value as input

Input : takes Unicode point value as input .
returns the equivalent char

Here are some sample outputs of Unicode point value as input ( output is shown against each row after comment )

print(chr(97)) # a
print(chr(98)) # b
print(chr(80)) # P
print(chr(35)) # #
print(chr(36)) # $

The first 128 unicode point values are same as ASCII values.

We can use inputs from 0 to 1114111.

Here is for loop to print some chars with their Unicode point values (Unicode value as inputs). Change the range values to get different set of chars and values.

for i in range(200,250):
    print(i,":",chr(i))

Example 1: Printing Special Characters

print(chr(64))  # Output: '@'
print(chr(8364))  # Output: '€' (Euro sign)

Output:

@
€

Example 2: Using chr() in a Range

for i in range(65, 70):
    print(i, ":", chr(i))  # Prints characters from A to E

Output:

65 : A
66 : B
67 : C
68 : D
69 : E

Example 3: Converting Numbers to Emoji Characters

print(chr(128512))  # Output: 😀 (Smiling face emoji)

Output:

😀

Example 4: Displaying More Emoji Characters

print(chr(128512))  # 😀 (Grinning Face)
print(chr(128516))  # 😄 (Smiling Face)
print(chr(128525))  # 😍 (Heart Eyes)
print(chr(128640))  # 🚀 (Rocket)
print(chr(128170))  # 💪 (Flexed Biceps)

Output:

😀
😄
😍
🚀
💪

Example 5: Using chr() to Generate Lowercase Alphabet

alphabet = [chr(i) for i in range(97, 123)]
print(alphabet)  # Output: ['a', 'b', 'c', ..., 'z']

Output:

['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 
'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']

Difference between ord() and chr() in Python

ord(): Converts a character into its corresponding Unicode code point (an integer).

print(ord('A'))  # Output: 65

chr(): Converts a Unicode code point (an integer) into its corresponding character.

print(chr(65))  # Output: 'A'

ord() and chr() are inverse functions, commonly used for character-to-integer and integer-to-character conversions in Python.

All Built in Functions ord() returns the Unicode point value by taking the Char as input ascii()
