Hi,
I agree this is not a bug. %c works as described.
However, Mr. Wang may want to read one of Greg's brilliant FAQ entries [1].
In general it's a bit of a pity that printf can do character->number
conversion, but not (directly) back. But it is like it is and the
"workarounds" are not really complicated.
