Thank you very much; just got back from a weekend in the
country cottage (pruning the vines and so on) - so will
look at these web refs immediately.

Supplementary Private Use Area-A  [not that funny place in the USA
where aliens have been landing] starts at Unicode hex U+F0000

[funny how that says 'UFO' in code. But I digress . . .]

(that's 983040 in decimal numbers)

so merrily tried
set the useUnicode to true
put numToChar(983040) into fld "SUCCESS"

and fell foul of this:

"If the useUnicode property is set to true, the ASCIIValue is an integer between zero and 65535."

BLAST!

Oops:  983040 is bigger than 65535
(had to slip in that note for people who have a problem counting up to 7) . . . :)

Your blast may be premature. Devan Asay's Unicode tutorial (http://www.runrev.com/developers/tutorials/unicode-in-revolution/) says that all Unicode characters are UTF-16. In UTF-16 numbers greater than 65535 can be represented by a two character combination. It's all explained much better than I could at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utf-16

The UTF-16 sequence for the Unicode code point 983040 (decimal) is DB80 DC00 (Hexadecimal) ; courtesy of http://rishida.net/tools/conversion/
