Python chr() function with examples

The chr() function in Python accepts an integer which is a unicode code point and converts it into a string representing a character.

Python chr() function

String chr(num)

The valid range for num is 0 to 1,114,111

Returns a string representing a character whose unicode code point value is num.

Python chr() function Example

In the following example we are passing integers values in the chr() function that represents the unicode code point values and the function returns the corresponding characters (strings).

This function returns a string with length 1 which represents the character whose unicode code point value is passed in chr() function.

myString = chr(101)
print(myString)

myString2 = chr(47)
print(myString2)

myString3 = chr(1002)
print(myString3)

Output:

Python chr() function ValueError Example

# ValueError example
myString = chr(-10)
print(myString)

Output:
