I'm not sure that is necessarily true. I believe you use 'unicodeText' 
in your code-base, and numToChar() when 'useUnicode' is true. This 
combination of things should work as it did before and will continue to 
do so (if it doesn't then let me know and we'll take a look to advise - 
as it could be there is a bug lurking there).

However, if you want to take advantage of the 'transparent' Unicodeness 
of 7+, then you will need to change the uses of 'unicodeText' to 'text' 
and 'numToChar' to 'numToCodepoint'.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
