<p>These functions accept either integers or strings; when the argument is a
string, it is first converted using the built-in function <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#ord" title="ord"><tt class="xref py py-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">ord()</span></tt></a>.</p>
<p>Note that all these functions check ordinal bit values derived from the  first
character of the string you pass in; they do not actually know anything about
the host machine&#8217;s character encoding.  For functions  that know about the
character encoding (and handle internationalization properly) see the
<a class="reference internal" href="string.html#module-string" title="string: Common string operations."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">string</span></tt></a> module.</p>

byte value; they return a value of the same type.</p>
