31 is an atom.  You must pass that without single or double quotes.

If you are trying to pass 31 inside quotes, then you will have to
put it in double quotes.  Putting 31 in double quotes causes it to
be a 2 byte sequence.

So, is this clear as mud now?  It's rather confusing to me, too.

I don't know if you are trying to pass ASCII character 31 OR
sequence "31".  In either case, you have done neither.
