Like many functions in DataPrime, `chr` supports<!-- --> [two notations](https://coralogix.com/docs/dataprime/language-reference/functions-reference.md),<!-- --> **function** and **method**. These interchangeable forms allow flexibility in how you structure expressions.

* Function notation
* Method notation

```
chr(value: number): string
```

```
(value: number).chr(): string
```

## Arguments

| Name    | Type     | Required | Description                                        |

}
```

### Example query

* Function notation
* Method notation

```
create emoji_value from chr(emoji_numeric_value)
```

```
create emoji_value from emoji_numeric_value.chr()
```

### Example output

Both notations produce:

```
{

    "emoji_numeric_value": 10084,

    "emoji_value": "❤"

}
```
