Re: from ascii to hex for unicode char

["Chris Swetenham" <cswetenham@...>]

Try this:
print(string.format("0x%x", utf8.byte("ည",1,-1)))

string.format accepts the same format codes as C printf, and %x prints an 
integer as a hex value.

Hope that helps,

Subject: from ascii to hex for unicode char


Hello,

I try to analyse a unicode character, e.g. "ည". I am able to get the
ascii code for this string using: print(utf8.byte("ည",1,-1))
This gives me 4106, which is correct. However I would like to get the
unicode codepoint in hex notation, for this character this would be:
0x100A  How do I get this result? (I use the slnunicode library)

Thanks,

Jelle
