And the winner is ... (drum roll) ... DAVID WINSEMIUS!!! Thank you hugely David. You have completely solved my problem. The last bit with format.hexmode() so as to get "00A3" rather than just "a3" was actually unnecessary; I could've lived with "a3". But it was a nice bit of polish.

If I have a character such as "£" stored in a object called "xxx", how can I obtain the hex code representation of this character? In this case I know that the hex code is "\u00A3", but if I didn't, how would I find out? I would like a function "foo()" such that foo(xxx) would return, say,
