TEXT:00,Here's another way to assign an atom variable with a numeric value: 
COLOUR:EUPHORIA
TEXT:32,atom double_quotation_mark
TEXT:16,double_quotation_mark = '\"'
COLOUR:STANDARD
TEXT:32,This example program places the ASCII value of a double quotation mark
TEXT:16,in variable "double_quotation_mark", which is 34. It works just like
TEXT:16,the previous example that used a character representation of a numeric
TEXT:16,value. This form of expression is commonly used for special characters
TEXT:16,that cannot be entered by keyboard, or to use Euphoria symbols like the
TEXT:16," for output. Other examples of \-prefixed special characters include
TEXT:16,\n for new line, \t for tab, and \\ for reverse slash. A complete
TEXT:16,list of these special characters is explained in the Euphoria Reference
TEXT:16,Manual.
