JavaScript stores strings as UTF-16 (double byte)

> "\u{2122}"
"™"

> "\uD83D\uDCAB"
"💫"

If you use method String.charCodeAt, you will get UTF-16 code, not ASCII code:

> "™".charCodeAt(0)
8482

> "💫".codePointAt(0)
128171

So if you want to read ASCII characters, you can do like this method: read code point of string then convert it into ASCII codes. To do this, read this artice: PHP function chr of unicode character

We write function codePointToASCIIs base on function unichr3

Javascript code:

function codePointToASCIIs(dec) {
  var utf = [];
  if (dec < 0x80) {
    utf = [dec];
  } else if (dec < 0x0800) {
    utf = [0xC0 + (dec >> 6)];
    utf[1] = 0x80 + (dec & 0x3f);
  } else if (dec < 0x010000) {
    utf = [0xE0 + (dec >> 12)];
    utf[1] = 0x80 + ((dec >> 6) & 0x3f);
    utf[2] = 0x80 + (dec & 0x3f);
  } else if (dec < 0x200000) {
    utf = [0xF0 + (dec >> 18)];
    utf[1] = 0x80 + ((dec >> 12) & 0x3f);
    utf[2] = 0x80 + ((dec >> 6) & 0x3f);
    utf[3] = 0x80 + (dec & 0x3f);
  } else return [];
  return utf;
}

Then write function stringtoasciis

function stringtoasciis(string) {
  var ret = [],
    i = 0;
  while (1) {
    var _ = string.charCodeAt(i++)
    if (isNaN(_)) break;
    var __ = codePointToASCIIs(_)
    ret = ret.concat(__);
  }
  return ret;
}

Example:

var string = "💩™💫";

alert(stringtoasciis(string))
