Well, Revolution has not moved that far into unicode.
You will get your host encoding tm.
Even when we talk about unicode. A char is a byte, just 8 bits.
The simple view of unicode by Revolution, at this time, is two bytes in host order. For charToNum() that simply means that it looks at the first two char (bytes) of the arg to calculate the value, when useUnicode is true. Otherwise, it is the normal way; it looks at the first byte (char) only.
Unicode support is in the ability to work with fields, some conversion functions that work on strings as byte sequences that encode Unicode, and the two-byte modifier for chartoNum.
My dream is that someday we would be able to work with chars as chars with unicode as the basis and still be able to work with strings as byte sequences. I don't know if there is much hope for that.
