    Ps. (classic) ASCII seven-bit coding and the code 192 is simply not there. You are asking about Windows-1251- - Enikeyschik
  • Let’s say so, then how can you still pull out this treasured number 192 using the letter A? - danil sokolov pm

ord(ch) displays the character code ch .

 a = "А" b = a.encode('windows-1251') # переводим в Windows-1251 print (ord(b))

Reverse operation (print a character using its numeric code) - chr(num) :

 print (chr(192)) # выведет не А, а À, т.к. по умолчанию используется юникод
