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/
Um! Playing around with http://rishida.net/tools/conversion/ I ended up
with the following for 983040:
UTF-16 code units : DB80 DC00 20
Unicode U+hex notation : U+F0000 (which I kent well)
now that is all very, very jolly! So "Aa thocht a quhile, Aa scart ma
dowp an pyked ma neb a pirie bit",
but when I tried this:
numToChar(56192 56320 32) it "threw a wobbly"
as did: numToChar(56192 56320)
and this; numToChar(56192) & numToChar(56320) & numToChar(32) was most
unsatisfactory . . .
and, finding no reference in any of the RunRev documentation about the
possibility of
working with Hexadecimal notation . . .
-------------------
Devin Asay's tutorial :
http://www.runrev.com/developers/tutorials/unicode-in-revolution/ does
indeed
state that all Unicode characters are UTF-16; but it most definitely
does not state how one can refer with
numToChar with a 2 character combination.
-------------------
so, sadly, at this stage, no nearer.
