In the Linux versions that I have tested (1.1.4 and 1.9.77) and
according to the help file, the Calc sheet function CHAR only works on
ASCII characters i.e. up to 255.
Interestingly the OOo BASIC function chr does work for unicode numbers
greater than 255. Thus one can have something like:

function myChar(n)
myChar = chr(n)
end function

But calling this function from a spreadsheet a thousand times is very
slow.

Thanks, Ian Laurenson
