# Chr Function

Returns the character that corresponds to the specified character code.

### Syntax:

Chr[$](expression As Integer) As String

### Return value:

String

### Parameters:

Expression: a numeric expression that represents a valid 8-bit ASCII value (0-255) or a 16-bit Unicode value. (To support expressions with a nominally negative argument like Chr(&H8000) in a backwards-compatible way, values in the range −32768 to −1 are internally mapped to the range 32768 to 65535.)

When VBA compatibility mode is enabled (OPTION VBASUPPORT 1), Expression is a numeric expression that represents a valid 8-bit ASCII value (0-255) only.

Use the Chr$ function to send special control sequences to a printer or to another output source. You can also use it to insert quotation marks in a string expression.

### Error codes:

5 Invalid procedure call

6 Overflow 6 Overflow

An overflow error will occur when VBA compatibility mode is enabled and the expression value is greater than 255.

### Example:

            Sub ExampleChr
                REM This example inserts quotation marks (ASCII value 34) in a string.
                MsgBox "A "+ Chr$(34)+"short" + Chr(34)+" trip."
                REM The printout appears in the dialog as: A "short" trip.
            End Sub
