Given the Uncode Text Packet AE:

Code:

byte ID (AE)

word Packet Size

dword Serial

word Graphic

byte

Mode (0x00 = say, 0x01 = system, 0x02 = emote, 0x06 = label, 0x07 = focus, 0x08 = whipser, 0x09 = yell, 0x10 = spell, 0x13 = guild, 0x14 = alliance, 0x15 = GM, 0xC0 = encoded commands)

word Text Color

word Font

char[4] Language

char[30] Name

uchar[*] Text

I want to write a function for sending sysmessages (or other text types/talkmodes), which also enables me to specify the fields: Serial, Mode and Name.
Each letter in Language, Name and Text is sent not as plain text obviously, but as a number, which is the ASCII or Unicode(?) value for the letter itself.
Is there an automatic way to obtain the numeric value for each letter? I thought something like <hval "blabla">, but as i expected it did not work.
