# `CHR`

**Applies to:** ✅ Data 360 SQL ✅ Tableau Hyper API

Returns the character corresponding to a given numeric code.

## Syntax

```sql
chr(<code>)
```

## Arguments

### Required

- `<code>`: The ASCII code or Unicode code point.

## Returns

Returns a single character corresponding to the given code.

## Considerations

- For UTF-8, the function treats the argument as a Unicode code point.
- The NULL (0) character isn’t allowed because text data types can’t store NULL bytes.

## Examples

### Convert Code to Character

Get the character for an ASCII code.

```sql
SELECT chr(65) AS result;
```

Returns `'A'`.
