Check out RANK() function. ACSII maps to single character, not to strings. There is another function COLLATE() returning strings, but for your purpose.

If you output your strings in $hex format, you can see the hex value of each character.

The ACSII code "is" the character, and the hex code is the location in the translation table (position) of that character in

whichever translation table you are using.
