The char() function can return different results depending on your font (and 
therefore OS).  You can get a quick listing of what is available by changing 
your font in the Stata results window to one that shows upper ASCII 
characters (rather than just ?) and then :

forval i=123(1)255 {
di "`i': " char(`i')
}
