Hi David,

From the LC dictionary:

Important: As of version 7.0 the numToChar and charToNum functions have been 
deprecated. They will continue to work as in previous versions but should not 
be used with Unicode text as unexpected results may occur. If working with 
Unicode text use the numToCodepoint and codepointToNum functions, for native 
text use numToNativeChar and nativeCharToNum functions. If working with binary 
data use the numToByte and byteToNum functions.

Try these other functions first…
