imho, you thought it right.
irb(main):001:0> x='a'
=> "a"
irb(main):003:0> x[0]
=> 97
irb(main):004:0> ?x
=> 120
irb(main):005:0> ?a

I myself seldom use ? notation.
btw, is there a Char class?

I'm not completely sure what you are trying to show here. ?x means the character code for the letter x. This has nothing to do with the variable x. (That's not an issue because you're naming your variables better than that, right? :D)

No, there's not. See Integer#chr.
