the easiest way is simply:

atom char
char = 't' -- ascii value 116
char += 1 -- ascii value 117, the letter 'u'


Characters are always stored as their ascii value.  For example, the
string "test" is actually a sequence:
{116,101,115,116}

So, in your example, y does equal the ascii value of 'C', but so does x.
