If I try and cast it to dchar, I get messed up output,
Because it gives you a dchar with the numeric value 5 which is some
control character.
and I'm not sure
how to use toChars (if that can accomplish this).
value = i.toChars.front;
toChars converts the number to a range of chars. front takes the first
of them.
Similarly, you could also convert to a (d)string and take the first
character:
value = i.to!dstring[0];
Or if you want to appear clever, add i to '0':
value = '0' + i;
I'd generally prefer toChars.front here. to!dstring[0] makes an
allocation you don't need, and '0' + i is more obscure and bug-prone.
