It's probably more efficient to use character codes. The charCodeAt() method of String returns a Number which will actually be an integer between 0 and 65535.
BTW, Unicode experts will recognize that this means that sometime it takes two "chars" (a "surrogate pair") in an AS String to represent a single Unicode code point, since there are more than 65536 Unicode characters.

And how to make it if not ? Thank you, Christophe,
