is there a function or a tool to get the ASCII code of a Letter?

Use this guide using JavaScript to get the Ascii code:

Or you can also use this:

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.
