Return the character for each integer passed. This function interprets arguments as integer ASCII values and returns a string of those characters.
CHAR() interprets each argument as an and returns a string consisting of the characters given by the code values of those integers. NULL values are skipped. By default, CHAR() returns a binary string. To produce a string in a given , use the optional USING clause:
If USING is given and the result string is illegal for the given character set, a warning is issued. Also, if strict is enabled, the result from CHAR() becomes NULL.
- Return ASCII value of first character
- Return value for character in single or multi-byte character sets
