Character codes: Difference between revisions

=={{header|PowerShell}}==

PowerShell does not allow for character literals directly, so to get a character one first needs to convert a single-character string to a char:

<lang powershell>$char = [char] 'a'</lang>

Then a simple cast to int yields the character code:

<lang powershell>$charcode = [int] $char # => 97</lang>

This also works with Unicode:

<lang powershell>[int] [char] '☺' # => 9786</lang>

For converting an integral character code into the actual character, a cast to char suffices:

<lang powershell>[char] 97 # a

[char] 9786 # ☺</lang>
