I want to convert a KeyCode to character
Example:

Enum.KeyCode.Asterisk

into

*

I tried making a table and a code to replace but I just don’t want to make a full table of every possible character

Please help me

One option is that…key codes have value properties and ones that can be represented as characters have values corresponding to valid ASCII codes. Here’s an example:

local function keyCodeToString(keyCode)
	if keyCode.Value < 127 and keyCode.Value > 33 then --// excluding space (32) character
		return string.char(keyCode.Value)
	else
		return keyCode.Name --// just return keycode name if not within range
	end
end

Or another option is if this is more intended for displaying something to users/players, GetStringForKeyCode also exists.
