  74. <dd><p><code>ICHAR(C)</code> returns the code for the character in the first character
  75. position of <code>C</code> in the system&rsquo;s native character set.
  76. The correspondence between characters and their codes is not necessarily
  77. the same across different GNU Fortran implementations.
