much better, now work in both base 0 and base 1 incantations.

Not for me, I get:
Cannot locate plugin service unicode.set_char

Removing empty would be fine, I tried unicode.repeat and that worked for the
purpose I had.
It would be nice to be able to append using some form of the numeric value. Eg:
local
ustring=unicode.char(0x00BC)++unicode.char(0x0020)++unicode.char(0x2153)..etc...
or possibly:
ustring=unicode.char(0x00BC)++"\x20"++unicode.char(0x2153)..etc..
