HTH : Hope that helps

Citing your post :
"""
Also, just curious, but, how could I then have the 3 and 0 added
together to be 3?
"""

you have the function "sumToOneDigit" that adds the digits of a number
till you get one digit (isn't that what you where curious about?)

And answering the main question : sum(ord(ch) for ch in 'chaos'.upper())
which is inside the "sumToOneDigit" funtion in my answer.

Sorry if that is not enough for you, but the answer is probably worth
what you paid for it.
