codePointToNum Hex

If I do this sort of thing:

put codePointToNum("ך")

I get 1512, the decimal equivalent of the hexadecimal Unicode number for that character ('resh').

How do I get 0x5E8, the hexadecimal?

Hi Richmond,

use the baseconvert() function.

...
put codePointToNum("ך") into tDecimalNum
put baseconvert(tDecimalNum,10,16) into tHexNum
## -> 5E8
...

Best

Klaus
