The string in PL/SQL is actually a sequence of characters with an optional size specification.
The characters could be numeric, letters, blank, special characters or a combination of all.
The CHR Function in PLSQL is the opposite of the ASCII function and is used to return the character based on the NUMBER code.

DECLARE 
   Test_Char varchar2(4) := '69';
   Test_Char1 varchar2(4) := '72';
   
   BEGIN 
   dbms_output.put_line(CHR(Test_Char)); 
   dbms_output.put_line(CHR(Test_Char1)); 
    
END;
