create a string from character

Availability
JavaScript 1.2; JScript 3.0; ECMAScript v1
Synopsis
String.fromCharCode(c1, c2, ...)
Arguments
- c1, c2, ...
-
Zero or more integers that specify the Unicode encodings of the
characters in the string to be created.
Returns
A new string containing characters with the specified encodings.
Description
This static method provides a way to create a string by specifying
the individual numeric Unicode encodings of its characters. Note that
as a static method, fromCharCode( ) is a property
of the String( ) constructor and is not actually a
method of strings or String objects.
String.charCodeAt( ) is a companion instance
method that provides a way to obtain the encodings of the individual
characters of a string.
Example
// Create the string "hello"
var s = String.fromCharCode(104, 101, 108, 108, 111);
Bugs
JavaScript 1.2 (as implemented by Netscape 4.0, for example) does not
have full support for 16-bit Unicode characters and strings.
