I know this is hardly an acceptable answer, Sascha, but it's
what i've found so far; These are some ways to make the console
print whatever character you need:


Bash shell:

   echo -e "\number"

(for example:  echo -e "\141" )


Perl:

   perl -e 'print "\number\n";'

(i.e. perl -e 'print "\141\n";'



Finally, here's a little C program I wrote that works kinda like BASIC's
CHR function. It uses ASCII codes as an argument. So, you would just type
"chr 97" to see a lower-cased "a".

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   char c[] = {atoi(argv[1]), '\0'};

   printf("%s\n", c);

   return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


... I'm really surprised I'm the only one with an "Alt Gr" key..
I find myself using it all the time! (for the @ when i type e-mail, for
example..)
