for ((i=1;i<=26;i++)); do ... but without chr() it seems hard to do
all in bash alone. Sorry.

You should be able to do it with printf

printf "%s\n" A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Or:

d2c()
{
eval _D2C=`printf "\$'\\\\\x%x'\n" $1`
[ ${SILENT_FUNCS:-0} -eq 1 ] || echo "$_D2C"
}

n=65
i=0
while [ $i -lt 26 ]
do
d2c $(( $n + $i ))
i=$(( $i + 1 ))
done
