Print character by ASCII code

As part of my research project, I want to implement my own controller algorithm which is too heavy to run on the motor controller. So I can run it on an external machine, but then the external machine has to receive current sensor values and output new motor power command every T ms. In this case the communication between the motor controller and the external machine becomes the main bottleneck of the system. I calculated that if I compress the numeric values into something similar to base64, I can reduce the communication overhead almost by a factor of 2.

The problem now, however, is that it seems like there is no way to print a character by its ASCII code. In fact, Could not find a way to print a character different from '0'..'9' unless its value is hardcoded in the script(as a string).

I looked into the compiled code. It seems like there are two internal calls: PRINTSTRING and PRINTVAL. The first one prints bytes as they are hardcoded in the script, and the second one, I assume, converts the number into an ASCII byte sequence and then prints them. This makes me hope that there is an internal function which would print a character just by its ASCII code.

So my question: is there any way/workaround to send a character to the serial port by its ASCII code. That is something like this:
printCharByAsciiCode(81)
which should output:
Q

At this point, the only solution to implement a base64-like encoding I can find is a multilevel nested IF with print("X") in each leaf.

Thanks!

Maybe give this a shot.

Hexadecimal Escape Sequence

Hexadecimal escape sequence is represented in a set of hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F) preceded by \x in the string (such as \x10 for character with ASCII 16).

Since a hexadecimal escape sequence can have a variable number of hex digits, the string literal "\x123" contains a single character with hex value 123. To create a string containing the character with hex value 12 followed by the character 3, one could write "\x00123".
