	<overview>Use the <b>numToNativeChar</b> function to translate numbers into their native character equivalents.</overview>

<description>An integer between 0 and 255, representing a character in the native character set.</description>

	<value>The <b>numToNativeChar</b> function returns a single native character.</value>
	<comments>The <b>numToNativeChar</b> function is the inverse of the <function tag="nativeCharToNum">nativeCharToNum</function> function.<p></p><p>These functions convert between text and native characters and are replacements for the deprecated <function tag="numToChar">numToChar</function> and <function tag="charToNum">charToNum</function> functions.</p><p></p><p>As the &ldquo;native&rdquo; character sets for each platform have a limited and different repertoire, these functions should not be used when preservation of Unicode text is desired. Any characters that cannot be mapped to the native character set are replaced with a question mark character (&lsquo;?&rsquo;).</p><p></p><p>Unless needed for compatibility reasons, it is recommended that you use the <function tag="numToCodepoint">numToCodepoint</function> and <function tag="codepointToNum">codepointToNum</function> functions instead.</p></comments>
