JavaScript String fromCharCode() Method

The JavaScript String.fromCharCode() method is used to create a string from the given sequence of UTF-16 code units. This method returns a string, not a string object.

Syntax:

String.fromCharCode(n1, n2, ..., nX)

Parameters: The method takes the UTF-16 Unicode sequences as its argument. The number of arguments to this method depends upon the number of characters to be joined as a string. The range of the numbers is between 0 and 65535

Return value: The return value of this method is a string containing the characters whose UTF-16 codes were passed to the method as arguments.

Below is an example of the String.fromCharCode() Method.

Example:

JavaScript

<script>
    function func() {
        var str = String.fromCharCode(71, 70, 71);
        console.log(str);
    }
    func();
</script>

Output:

GFG

Examples of the above method are provided below: 

Example 1: In this example, the method fromCharCode() converts the UTF-16 codes into their equivalent characters and returns the string containing them as the answer. In this case, the answer is ABC. 

JavaScript

<script>
    // JavaScript to illustrate fromCharCode() method
    function func() {

        // UTF-16 codes to be converted into characters
        var str = String.fromCharCode(65, 66, 67);
        console.log(str);
    }

    func();
</script>

Output:

ABC

Example 2: In this example, the method fromCharCode() converts the UTF-16 code into its equivalent character and returns the string containing it as the answer. In this case, the answer is —.

JavaScript

<script>
    // JavaScript to illustrate fromCharCode() method
    function func() {

        // UTF-16 code to be converted into character
        var str = String.fromCharCode(0x12014);
        console.log(str);
    }

    func();
</script>

Output:
