Can you send/receive unicode in sockets in AS3?

I'm connect ing to another app using sockets, and we've discovered that we need to set up my end so that it sends and receives unicode, as it doesn't seem to be doing so by default.

Is it possible, and if so, what do you change or set up?

Thanks for your time and help.

You can use socket.writeMultiByte to write unicode.

It's like: socket.writeMultiByte("My string", "unicode");

Here's a list of all supported character codes:
