Hmm... I can turn a number into a character with .chr
I can convert my numbers with .to_s(2) ((where 2 is a radix, or base))
But how do I convert numbers to characters??

I don't understand what you mean - "to_s(b)" builds a string. What do
you mean by "convert numbers to characters" (example).

You may be looking for Array#pack. It's useful for converting an array from one encoding to another. One of these possibilities is to convert an array of numbers into a string:
n = [65, 66, 67]
n.pack("c*")
#=> "ABC"
Pack (and unpack) can do tons of useful and surprising things.

yes it builds a string representation of a number.
I want to take a hex or binary number though and return a character.
0x49 for example is "I"

The creator of god! I must listen carefully.
I after some reading, I'm starting to think about using the files signatures used by DROID / PRONOM
Anyone know much about that stuff? Any Ruby implementations/bindings?

It works!

I think you need Integer#chr:
0x49.chr
=> 'I'

Oops, no, that's not what I need. I can do that.
I need to take "I" or "J" or whatever character and convert to hex! or binary
(sorry, I'm a little sleepy now)

like this?
irb(main):011:0> s = "A"
=> "A"
irb(main):012:0> s[0]
=> 65
irb(main):013:0> c = ?A
=> 65
irb(main):014:0> s[0].to_s(16)
=> "41"
irb(main):015:0> c.to_s(16)
=> "41"
irb(main):016:0> c.to_s(2)
=> "1000001"

Ah well in that case:
?I
# => 73
?I.to_s(2)
# => "1001001"
?I.to_s(16)
# => "49"

Gut that won't work in Ruby 1.9. "haha"[0] is 104 in 1.8 but "h" in 1.9.
You have to use "haha".bytes.first in Ruby 1.9, but that won't work in
1.8.
