Kumaraswamy shows how to find the ASCII code of a character using the WebViewer

Find the section Get the ASCII code (Decimal base) of the character of his Guide.

See if my extension gives you what you need. It does return an ascii number in hex, but you can use a math block to get dec. I can also slightly modify the extension to match the expectations.
