.B chr
converts each of the integers on
its command line to its corresponding ASCII character.
You can use it to send special characters to the screen.
This gives you a good way to produce special characters that are
hard to type or are interpreted by the shell.
.SH Example
Here we convert several characters.
.DM
	chr 97 65 49 
	aA1 
.DE
.DM
	chr 7
	[beep]
