ASC returns an ASCII character value from within an ASCII-8 string, and the Unicode value from within a UTF-8 string.
<return value>: corresponding ASCII character code from a specified character in an ASCII-8 <string>, or to the Unicode value of a specified symbol in a UTF-8 <string>.
<string>: string expression from which the character is to be picked. If the sting is empty, the function returns the value 0.
<index>: optional real value defining the position in <string> of the ASCII-8 character or UTF-8 symbol to select. The first ASCII-8 character or UTF-8 symbol of the string is selected if the index is omitted or has a value of 0.
Syntax
