Unicode and the higher planes of existence.

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Richmond,

Athough LiveCode doesn't support higher level code table values, LiveCode does support higher level unicode values. You just need to remember to switch the byte values when reading them from Apple's character palette. Also, I think you mean "ASCII" 65942 instead of 65940.

on mouseUp
     put "00d896dd" into myHex
     repeat with x = 1 to len(myHex)-1 step 2
          put "0x" & char x to x+1 of myHex into myHexChar
          put numToChar(myHexChar) after myBin
     end repeat
     set  the unicodeText of the last field to myBin
end mouseUp
