There is no analogous "charize" operator.  It was deemed to be significantly
less useful than "stringizing", and did not have enough supporters to make
it into the standard.

About the only place I've seen an attempt at charizing is in a CTRL(c) macro
in some Berkeley code.  They were told not to do that long ago, but didn't
listen.  (CTRL('z') would have been a better design than CTRL(z).)

If you're desperate, you might try
	#define chr(c) #c[0]
