Thanks guys,
This is what I was looking for, more of those undocumented way to do things. But with the way programmers "Do things" do you find there is a "Standard" generally when it comes to dealing with hex variables/characters??
I don't know what you mean by standard. Just use whatever is the most convenient way for a given task, like chr($num) if you have your ASCII/Unicode value in the variable, "abc\x{0123}def" if you write a known value in a string literal, v5.6.7 if you want to compare version numbers, etc.
