Can you not use asc() for this ?`

You can use chr(7) to quote the ASCII bell character.

https://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.7.2/232/

This code outputs 7

#version 3.7;
global_settings { assumed_gamma 1.0 }
#debug "\n"
#debug str(asc(chr(7)), 0, 0)
#debug "\n"
#error ""

Perhaps chr(7) can also be used as a key in a v3.8 dictionary (?)
