## Description
You can use this static `String` method to create a string based on a sequence of code points. Basically, a code point is any value that exist in a **code-space**, such as **Unicode**.
## Syntax
```javascript
String.fromCodePoint(num1[, ...[, numN]])
```
### Parameters
>**num1, ..., numN**
A sequence of code points.
## Examples
```javascript
String.fromCodePoint(24); // '\u0018'
String.fromCodePoint(42); // '*'
String.fromCodePoint(45); // '-'
String.fromCodePoint(10); // '\n'
String.fromCodePoint(18); // '\u0012'
String.fromCodePoint(18123); // '䛋'
String.fromCodePoint(194564); // '你'
String.fromCodePoint(0x0113); // 'ē'
```
