More efficient “for” loops are written this way:

  for (var i = 0, len = key.length; i < len; ++i)
  {
    // …
  }

Array.prototype.map() is supported by several implementations of ECMAScript 
Ed. 5 and later:

or

  var a = s.split("").map(function (ch) { return ch.charCodeAt(); });

No, String values are, unfortunately, defined in ECMAScript (up to including 
the 5.1 Edition) as “sequences of 16-bit units” only.  Therefore, the built-
in String properties do not work for Unicode characters beyond the Basic 
Multilingual Plane (BMP).

Remedy:
<http://PointedEars.de/wsvn/JSX/trunk/string/unicode.js> and the like.

Eeek.  Must you use *that*?  It is a known source of trolls.
