You can use `string' instead of `make-char'


#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(let ((start ?\x1B6)
      (end   ?\x1B7C))
  (while (<= start end)
    (message "%s - %x" (string start) start)
    (sit-for 0.2)
    (setq start (+ 1 start))))

#+END_SRC

To store in a list:(maybe more useful)

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(let ((start ?\x1B6)
      (end   ?\x1B7C)
      result)
  (while (<= start end)
    (push (cons (string start) start) result)
    (setq start (+ 1 start)))
  (nreverse result))
;; => (("ƶ" . 438) ("Ʒ" . 439) ("Ƹ" . 440) ("ƹ" . 441)...)
#+END_SRC
