For example, the md5Digest of 2 contains a comma. As the "raw"  
md5Digest is a binary value, I suspect any character could appear.

I usually use the following function to store the digests as a hex  
string.

function hexDigest pvalue
   local tRes
   put md5Digest(pValue) into tMD5
   get binaryDecode("H*",tMD5,tRes)
   return tRes
end hexDigest
