You don't say what editor and operating system. Thus I assume a
Commodore 64 (or any other 8bit computer running BASIC).

PRINT CHR$(65)

And if your editor is Vim, use the char2nr function.
":help char2nr()" for details.

var charCode = "a".charCodeAt(0);

That definitely works in JavScript.

For bash:

printf '%d' "'A'"

php:

ord("A");

Being comp.editors, and I want some fun with editing:

PMATE editor:

"A$$ yields ARG=65 ($ is esc key)
"A\$$ inserts "65" into current edit buffer
65i$$ inserts "A" into current edit buffer

so

"Ai$$ also inserts "A" into current edit buffer.

16qo"A\10qo$$ would insert "41" as we have shifted to base-16 and back to base-10

How about

iA$-M@t$$ yields ARG=65

this one works by inserting "A" into current buffer, backing up to it, and then fetching
the edit buffer character.

Yes, PMATE is a TECO variant.
