Supplementary Private Use Area-A [not that funny place in the USA
where aliens have been landing] starts at Unicode hex U+F0000
[funny how that says 'UFO' in code. But I digress . . .]
(that's 983040 in decimal numbers)
so merrily tried
set the useUnicode to true
put numToChar(983040) into fld "SUCCESS"
and fell foul of this:
"If the useUnicode property is set to true, the ASCIIValue is an
integer between zero and 65535."
BLAST!
Oops: 983040 is bigger than 65535
(had to slip in that note for people who have a problem counting up
to 7) . . . :)
Your blast may be premature. Devan Asay's Unicode tutorial (http://www.runrev.com/developers/tutorials/unicode-in-revolution/
) says that all Unicode characters are UTF-16. In UTF-16 numbers
greater than 65535 can be represented by a two character combination.
It's all explained much better than I could at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utf-16
The UTF-16 sequence for the Unicode code point 983040 (decimal) is
DB80 DC00 (Hexadecimal) ; courtesy of http://rishida.net/tools/conversion/
