Depending on your code page, this may be true or not.  It is rarely a good
idea to hard-code hex values rather than the actual characters because then
code page translation is defeated.  I don't understand the original
question, which is

I may be way off base, but why won't this work?

pos = %scan('½': string)
if pos > 0
  do stuff
endif

In CL, I'd use QCLSCAN...
