char not converting to string in eclipse

I am trying to make a program that concatenate characters cast from ints into Strings and then puts those strings into an array and prints them. I have tried a few different ways to make characters into string including Character.toString() ,StringBuilders and adding "". Yet,whenever I print to the console in eclipse I just get question marks instead of letters. How can I solve this. Here is my code:

public static void main(String args[]){
        try{
            char b = (char)2;
            String god = Character.toString(b);
            System.out.println(god);
}

Casting an int to a char in Java will use the Ascii code that int represents.

The Ascii code 2 is not a printable character, hence why you are getting question marks. You can see a list of Ascii codes here

I presume what you wanted to do is use '2' instead. (Note the quotation marks.)

char b = '2';
