Alex,
It's the ASCII value for the single quote ('). You see Rev will assume an
unquoted value as a string unless it is a variable, so:
put numToChar(b)
is the same as
put numToChar("b")
so long as b has not been assigned a value (thus making it a variable).
In your case, what apparently happened is that:
put numToChar('a')
became the equivalent of
put numToChar(')
or
put numtToChar("'")
