What you need is the language-defined function
Character'Val (<integer_expression>) to convert
a number in the range 0 .. 255 to its corresponding
character, and the language-defined function
Character'Pos (<character_value>) to obtain its
position in the character set -- 0 .. 255;

E.g., Character'Val (65) returns 'A', and
Character'Pos ('A') returns 65.
