I have a problem which I do not understand. Here is my code:

String input = "3 days ago" String firstCharacter = input[0].ToString(); //Returns 3 int firstCharacter = (int)input[0]; //Returns 51

Why does it return 51?

More information:

In case that input = "5 days ago", then int firstCharacter is 53.
