In this tutorial, we will learn about the Python ord() function with the help of examples.
The ord() function returns an integer representing the Unicode character.
Example
character = 'P' # find unicode of P unicode_char = ord(character) print(unicode_char) # Output: 80
1. ord() Syntax
The syntax of ord() is:
ord(ch)
2. ord() Parameters
The ord() function takes a single parameter:
- ch – a Unicode character
3. ord() Return Value
The ord() function returns an integer representing the Unicode character.
4. Example: How ord() works in Python?
print(ord('5')) # 53
print(ord('A')) # 65
print(ord('$')) # 36
Output

By the way, the ord() function is the inverse of the Python chr() function.
