How can I use a Korn script to print (display) ascii characters?

[jeremytaffy]

Is it possible in scripting to incorporate ascii characters into my script? I am trying to print, for example, a cursor block, or a smiley. I am using aix 5.1, running korn shell.

thanks

Here are some usefull tips.

man ascii

this will list the ascii characters.

in one script i use the line

echo "\07"

This caused a bell to sound.

Good Luck
