I thought that the ascii character set was mapped into the unicode set with
the same numerical values (despite the longer byte format) so that in
decimal values ascii 32 (space) is that same as unicade 32 (also a space).
If that's the case you should be able to use the commands and then convert
the data-type, or vice-versa. Don't quote me though - I'm commenting from a
murky memory here.
