Character under cursor in Vim 7.0.

I need a command that echoes the character under the cursor. Here is what I am using right now:
Code:
:execute "normal yl:echo \"\<c-r>\"\"\<cr>"
Is there a simpler way of doing this in Vim 7.0 or other version of Vim?

Thanks.

Whoops I found this by accident.
Code:
:let c = getline(".")[col(".") - 1]
