Hi All:
I thought I had figured out the display of Unicode glyphs in LC 6.6, and
then ran up against a threshold where the value of a character is
displayed as two values.  I'm guessing this is related to a "double-byte"
something or other.  How does one retrieve the value of a character as a
single value?
For example, I can set the htmlText of a field to 📞 and get the
correct unicode character to display.  But when retrieving the value for
the character, I get: ��
Can I encode/decode/jumpcode/flipcode something here to get a single value
representation of the character?
(Also, I'm unable set the value of the by setting the unicodeText to
numToChar(128222) -- only using the htmlText property seems to work).
Thanks for helping out this uniclueless dude.
