Basically what goes on is #[num] pushes the ASCII value of num onto the top of the stack, : duplicates the top of the stack, and . prints the top of the stack.

Admittedly this is probably the most golfed it can get as I seem to be unable to further rearrange everything to get a lower byte count, so it does seem that sub-50 bytes is barely out of reach.

They kept saying that jq is the language of September 2021. Still surprised no one even made a Hello, World! on it.
