ORD() 函数返回字符串第一个字符的ASCII 值。

语法： ORD(string)

举一些简单的例子：

mysql> SELECT ORD('i');

+----------+

| ORD('i') |

+----------+

| 105 |

+----------+

1 row in set

或者：

mysql> SELECT ORD('NowaMagic');

+------------------+

| ORD('NowaMagic') |

+------------------+

| 78 |

+------------------+

1 row in set

如果汉字又如何呢？

mysql> SELECT ORD('简明现代魔法');

+---------------------+

| ORD('简明现代魔法') |

+---------------------+

| 15183488 |

+---------------------+

1 row in set

mysql> SELECT ORD('简');

+-----------+

| ORD('简') |

+-----------+

| 15183488 |

+-----------+

1 row in set

为什么会有 8 位数那么长呢？原因是数据库使用的字符集问题，此处的数据库使用的是 UTF-8，16位表示一个符号。顺便贴一下SQL的执行语句：

mysql> SHOW CHARACTER SET;
