Specifies whether the charToNum and numToChar functions assume a 
character is double-byte.
If the useUnicode property is set to true, the numToChar and charToNum 
functions use double-byte characters. You can pass a number greater 
than 255 to the numToChar function in order to generate a double-byte 
character, and you can pass a double-byte character to the charToNum 
function.

It has no other use.

This is the first I have heard of this! Are you saying that Val cannot 
send unicode information to Rev? Val can store and retrieve unicode so 
what is the problem? If this is true then v4rev is useless in Japan  :  
(  so I must be misunderstanding.

I will let you know as soon as I'm able to build a valdb with unicode 
text.
