Ok, I see. Character is also an enumeration.

So if I want to output only the character without the quotes, I have
to convert it to string? In the case of type symbols with an
indirection through type character, of course. 

BTW: Which online book/tutorial has a good explanation of the
possibilities of type conversion in Ada? After doing PHP for a few
weeks, I really see the advantages of a strong type system, but it
needs some time to get familiar with it.
