Answer 1

((int)'அ').ToString()

If you have the character as a char, you can cast that to an int, which will represent the character's numeric value. You can then print that out in any way you like, just like with any other integer.

If you wanted hexadecimal output instead, you can use:

((int)'அ').ToString("X4")

X is for hexadecimal, 4 is for zero-padding to four characters.
