Hi,

The built-in function ASCII_CHAR(n) seems to only accept integers 0..255 
and not have any character set support whatsoever.

Are there any plans to add support for character set awareness, 
presumably under a new function name?

For example:
char_from_code(n, character_set_name)

As a workaround, do string literals include some escape syntax to insert 
an arbitrary code point, similar to for example in C#?
For example:
'|\u0066|' = 'f'

Or are such escape mechanisms in the plans?

Mvh,
Kjell
