Re: Getting the ASCII code of a Unicode multibyte character

   Strictly speaking, ASCII is a 7-bit encoding. The equivalent here is the Unicode code point value.

   It would be better to ask for the number of bytes in the character by calling SCI_POSITIONAFTER then retrieving the bytes of that character and calculating the code point from the UTF-8 bytes.
