ord() to get Unicode code point of single input character in Python

ord() Unicode point of input char

ord() takes input char of single length.
returns Unicode point value of input Char.

Here are some sample outputs of single input string ( output is shown against each row after comment )

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

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

If we input more than one char then it will return error.

print(ord('ab'))

TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 2 found

Sample Script

Converts any lower case char to upper case char ( without using any built-in string functions )

str='Welcome to Python'
for i in str:
  k=ord(i) # ASCII value of i
  if (k >=97 and k<=122):
    print(chr(k-32),end='')
  else:
    print(i,end='')

Output
