Creating unicode character

[RobBroekhuis]

This one should be easy - if I have a numerical (or hexadecimal-string) representation of a unicode character, how do I create a string of that character?
For example, if I have variable
code=0xabcd
how do I create a string equivalent to
s='\uabcd'

In other words, I'm looking for the modern equivalent to Basic's old chr$() function :-)

One of the few static methods in Javascript: String.fromCharCode

This creates a string from the args (charCodes) supplied.
The args can be in number or string form - with hex in the usual 0xabc format.

alert(String.fromCharCode(0x49,0x20,0x6c,0x69,0x6b,0x65,0x20,0x62,0x61,0x6e,0x61,0x6e,0x61,0x73));

Thanks much - just what I needed!
