You can write a method that uses ASCII values for this. – MikeL Oct 27 '15 at 20:53

Try `printf \\\x$(printf '%x' input)`. For example: `for input in {1..26}; do printf \\\x$(printf '%x' $((input+96))); done`. – alvits Oct 27 '15 at 21:09

You can use this BASH function:
cnvt() { printf "\x$(printf '%x' $((97 + $1 -1)))\n"; }
Test it:
cnvt 10
j
cnvt 11
k
cnvt 26
z

What I have in my answer is indeed the shell script. Just add my given inside any shell script and use it the way I suggested here. – anubhava Oct 27 '15 at 21:20

You can use ASCII table for this.
If user inputs 10 you can add 87 and get "a" = 97.
This way input 11 will get a value of "b" = 98.
