However, "(baseConvert: bad destination base)" does not help much.
This mainly because your example was wrong.
I tried this:
put baseConvert(codePointToNum("&"), 10, 16) because your syntax was
the wrong way round,
BUT it go "all stuffy" about the codePointToum, so I did this:
put codePointToNum("&") into NUMM
put baseConvert(NUMM, 10, 16)
and got the number.

So, if I do something like this:
*put the codePointToNum("§")*
I will get the Unicode address of that character as a Decimal number.
How can I get it as a Hex number?
Two options - you can use baseConvert:
put baseConvert(10, 16, codepointToNum("§")
or you can use format:
put format("%x", codepointToNum("§"))
The latter is much more flexible e.g.:
put format("\\u{%06x}", codepointToNum("§"))
Gives the codepoint as the escape sequence for JSON strings (for
example).
Warmest Regards,
