So, if I do something like this:
*put the codePointToNum("§")*
I will get the Unicode address of that character as a Decimal number.
How can I get it as a Hex number?
Two options - you can use baseConvert:
put baseConvert(10, 16, codepointToNum("§")
or you can use format:
put format("%x", codepointToNum("§"))
The latter is much more flexible e.g.:
put format("\\u{%06x}", codepointToNum("§"))
Gives the codepoint as the escape sequence for JSON strings (for
example).
Warmest Regards,
