Not sure where 97 came from for "A". maybe you mean lower case "a".
See: man ascii .

A = 101 in octal
A = 41 in hexadecimal
A = 65 in decimal

a = 141 in octal
a = 61 in hexadecimal
a = 97 in decimal

If you actually mean lower case a, you can use "bc" to change number bases from decimal to octal then use shell echo to display the character.

#!/bin/ksh
CHAR=97
OCT=`echo "obase=8;ibase=10;${CHAR}"|bc`
echo "\0${OCT}"

a

Wink To show the ASCII value of "A"

There are probably simpler ways, but I use that 'od...' command often when trying to diagnose data issues. It helps to find strange characters in text.
The first example is the decimal represenation of "A" and the second is the octal representation.


Code:
> echo "A" | od -An -t dC | awk '{print $1}'
65
> echo "A" | od -An -t oC | awk '{print $1}'
101
