Subject: Newbie Q: Getting character codes

I need to get at the character code used to represent a character.  I
realise that "f"[0] will return the code for "f" (102), but I read in
a FAQ that this behaviour may change, and I can't find any other way
of doing it.  Would somebody point me to what I am missing, please?

TIA,

Tim
