       val code : char -> int

       Return the ASCII code of the argument.

       val chr : int -> char

       Return  the  character  with the given ASCII code.  Raise Invalid_argument Char.chr if the
       argument is outside the range 0--255.

       val escaped : char -> string

       Return a  string  representing  the  given  character,  with  special  characters  escaped
       following  the  lexical  conventions of OCaml.  All characters outside the ASCII printable
       range (32..126) are escaped, as well as backslash, double-quote, and single-quote.

       val lowercase : char -> char

       Deprecated.  Functions operating on Latin-1 character set are deprecated.

       Convert the given character to its equivalent lowercase character, using the  ISO  Latin-1
       (8859-1) character set.

       val uppercase : char -> char

       Deprecated.  Functions operating on Latin-1 character set are deprecated.

       Convert  the  given character to its equivalent uppercase character, using the ISO Latin-1
       (8859-1) character set.

       val lowercase_ascii : char -> char

       Convert the given character to its equivalent  lowercase  character,  using  the  US-ASCII
       character set.

       val uppercase_ascii : char -> char

       Convert  the  given  character  to  its equivalent uppercase character, using the US-ASCII

       type t = char

       An alias for the type of characters.

       val compare : t -> t -> int

       The comparison function for characters, with the same specification as  Pervasives.compare
       .   Along  with  the type t , this function compare allows the module Char to be passed as
       argument to the functors Set.Make and Map.Make .

       val equal : t -> t -> bool

       The equal function for chars.

       Since 4.03.0
