char() function in spreadsheet & also in programming code

Would be nice to have this function extended from ANSI to unicode. This would provide a nice way of converting from old symbol fonts using numerical mapping.
Hi Bettina, one for you. Eike told me that this will not be a simple task but a new function may be possible. Frank
Bettina, "not a simple task" in the way that simply changing the CHAR() and CODE() functions to be Unicode aware would probably not be the way to go, for compatibility and interoperability reasons. Please find out if the competeting product offers this functionality, for example in separated functions. I don't think they changed the existing functions, for the same reasons I wouldn't. Eike
