CODE

returns the numeric code for the first character in a text string.

Syntax:

CODE(text)

returns the numeric code for the first character of the text string text, in the range 0-255.

Codes greater than 127 may depend on your system's character mapping (for example iso-8859-1, iso-8859-2, Windows-1252, Windows-1250), and hence may not be portable.

Example:

CODE("H")

returns 72, the character code for "H".

CODE("Hello")

also returns 72.

The international standard ODFF will introduce the more versatile functions UNICODE and UNICHAR, which will be implemented in Calc.
