-.. function:: ord(c)
+.. function:: ord(character, /)
- Given a string representing one Unicode character, return an integer
- representing the Unicode code point of that character. For example,
+ Return the ordinal value of a character.
+
+ If the argument is a one-character string, return the Unicode code point
+ of that character. For example,
``ord('a')`` returns the integer ``97`` and ``ord('€')`` (Euro sign)
returns ``8364``. This is the inverse of :func:`chr`.
+ If the argument is a :class:`bytes` or :class:`bytearray` object of
+ length 1, return its single byte value.
+ For example, ``ord(b'a')`` returns the integer ``97``.
