Errors when printing Unicode Grapheme Clusters by a for loop

Question

I would like to print out the grapheme clusters of which the code point from U+0021 to U+0100 in the Unicode table

for i in 21...100 {
    print("\u{i} ", terminator: "")
}

The compiler presented me the following error

Question: I guess I can't use the index from the for loop array as the Unicode Scalar indicator in the string interpretation. If so, what steps should I change to use the loop correctly

Many thanks

I don't know swift so this could be totally wrong but do you need to cast from int to char. — Casey, Aug 20 '16 at 13:01

The \u{n} special character works only with a literal hexadecimal number n. But you can create a unicode scalar from its numerical value:

for i in 0x21...0x100 {
    print(UnicodeScalar(i), terminator: "")
}
