Hi All

I want to convert unicode Chinese character to hex value. I can use the following to convert english to hex value.

put charToNum("P") into tNum
answer baseConvert(tNum,10,16) ; return 70

If I use a Chinese character "中" in the above it will return "3F". which is not correct. The correct value is "\u4E2D".

Please advise how can I make it!

Ni hao Terry,

just guessing, but maybe using something like codepointtonum() etc. will do the job?
CHARTONUM() has been deprecated with the introduction of Unicode.
