Subject: Getting single char from string -- Simpler solution?

Hi -

I'm trying to get a single char from string, but doing it like this
return the ascii key:

irb(main):060:0> "hello"[0]
=> 104

I know this could be accomplished like this:

irb(main):063:0> "hello".split('')[0]
=> "h"

I'm not too lazy to type, but I was wondering if there's a simpler way I
overlooked.

Thanks!
