alternatively,
>> a = {'9a','abc'}
a =
1×2 cell array
{'9a'} {'abc'}
>> a{1}
ans =
'9a'

Please expand on your question. Conversion from cell array to character string is a matter of de-referencing each of the cell array entries to get the already-contained character string, and building up rows of a char array, with the rows padded (with blanks) to the length of the longest string. There is no look-up table involved in the process.
