This may not be appropriate since it depends on what you're trying to do, but it can be done as follows:

    int zeroValue = new Character( '0' ).charValue() ;
    char three = (char)( 3 + zeroValue ) ;
 
    System.out.println( "zeroValue=" + zeroValue ) ;
    System.out.println( "three=" + three ) ;

Some may want to flog me for this tip, but I think it works fairly reliably ;)

// assuming base 10
char three = Character.forDigit(3, 10);

I knew there must be a simpler way of doing it!
