Convert string to ASCII

[calif]

Hello!

How can I convert string (char) to ASCII code?

There is no char type.

Thanks in advance,
calif

var str string = "Hello"
unicodeCodePoints := []int(str)

ASCII doesn't exactly exist in Go. Instead, we have Unicode UTF-8, so
normal ascii converts to ascii with a []byte(str) conversion, but
unicode characters will convert to 2 slots of the byte array.
[]int(str) will get the unicode code points.

Cory,

UTF-8 uses one to four bytes to express a Unicode code point
(utf8.UTFMax = 4 ).

What is the definition of UTF-8?
