What do you mean by input character? Where are you reading characters from?

Are you talking about JavaScript?

In JS, you do `theString.charCodeAt(index)` to get the unicode (same as ASCII for ASCII characters) code for a character from a string.

actually I want to read specific character entered from keyboard (such as BS or \n etc…). but I got it. I used fromCharCode().(I have learned JS for a few weeks so thank you so much for your suggest.)
