As we know that there are various format specifiers in C like %d, %f, %c etc, to help us print characters or other data types. We normally use these specifiers along with the printf() function to print any variables. But there is also a way to print characters specifically without the use of %c format specifier. This can be obtained by using the below-shown method to get the character value of any ASCII codes of any particular character.
Example:




// Prints characters without format specifiers
#include <stdio.h>
  
int main()
{
    printf("\x47 \n");
    printf("\x45 \n");
    printf("\x45 \n");
    printf("\x4b \n");
    printf("\x53");
    return 0;
}


Output:

G 
E 
E 
K 
S
