[Tutor] Convert CJK text into HEX value string

[Kojo Idrissa]

If this was ASCII text, the atoi() function [which I just saw has been 
depricated] from the string module would do the trick.  Convert the text to 
an integer, then into hex.

I think the CJK characters are represented as Unicode (as opposed to 
ASCII).  If that's the case, the Unicode module is able to convert those 
strings in a manner similar to the String module.  Check out the decimal(), 
digit() and numeric() functions.  I don't have any CJK data to test this 
with, or I'd try for you and see.  Here's the link to the Unicode module docs:
<http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-unicodedata.html>

If I'm way off base with this, someone jump in and correct me.

I might have to test this out myself.  I just started a new job a view 
weeks ago and a lot of our clientele is in Asia.  Japan especially.  I 
might want to do some text manipulation.
