If you are using xslt2 xpath2 has a function string-tocodepoints thaat
does exactly this. If you are using xslt1 then it's harder: you need to
write a recursive function that splits off one letter at a time and then
looks up its number. This is feasible if you only need ascii input, but
if you need to be able to lookup arbitrary uniocde strings it is not
really feasible and you should look to see if your system has an
extension function for this.
