Well, people may input from keyboard. They input some Chinese
characters, then, I want to create a number. The same number will be
created if they input the same Chinese characters.

assuming you mean "code point" rather than "ASCII code" (ASCII is a
specific encoding that *doesn't* include Chinese characters), "ord" is
what you want:

char = read_from_some_ input_device()
code = ord(char)

you may want to look up "at least" in a dictionary.

Maybe you need to do the same for "actually".

As a homework, try to parse "at least until" and "goes beyond" and compare
the two (a dictionary is not necessarily of help with this :)

"range is least 0..65535" : upper_bound >= 65535
"goes beyond 65535" : upper_bound 65535

For some discussions (like how to represent code points etc) this
distinction is crucial.

do you know anything about how Unicode is used in real life, or are you
just squabbling ?

Your point is?
