javascript convert number to utf-8

Question

In C, I'd be able to do something like this:

short number = 20693; // Create the number
unsigned char* str = malloc(3); // Create the string
memcpy(str, &number, 2); // Copy the number to the string
str[2] = 0; // 0-pad it

And then str would contain the utf-8 representation of number. Is it possible to do this in javascript (without the 0-padding)?

Answer 1

You want String.fromCharCode...

String.fromCharCode(65);  // "A"

...which is the opposite of String.charCodeAt:

"A".charCodeAt(0); // 65
