specifying the individual numeric Unicode encodings of its
characters. Note that as a static method, fromCharCode( )
is a property of the
String( )
constructor and is not
actually a method of strings or String objects.
String.charCodeAt( )
is a
companion instance method that provides a way to obtain the
encodings of the individual characters of a string.
