 For example, C<chr(65)> is C<"A"> in either ASCII or Unicode, and
-chr(0x263a) is a Unicode smiley face (but only within the scope of
-a C<use utf8>).  For the reverse, use L</ord>.  
+chr(0x263a) is a Unicode smiley face. Within the scope of C<use utf8>,

 See L<utf8> for more about Unicode.
 
 If NUMBER is omitted, uses C<$_>.
