How to set a character in C++?

This is probably very obvious, in fact so obvious that no C++ reference I could find online cares to document it.

I need to know how to set the byte value of a char in C/C++. For example, if I want the byte value 233 in the char, how do I do?

char x = 233;

Yea, literally as simple as that.

A char is a 1byte int. So you can set the value in the same way as you would an int.

char c = 123;
char d = 0x12;

etc...

Yes, it is too obvious:

char x = 233;
