I have to maintain a legacy module that receive as input a local global variable (eg: it's like a list).

ClassMethod Foo(ByRef ITEMS) { }

It's too risky to refactor it (eg: use something else) as it's used in LOT of places. 

I need in some case to add a extra item at the end of that "list".

I also did the following test : create a routine with "write $ascii("♥")" inside and call it from outside (eg: Studio console). It works (so server code also works).

However I have a IRIS server where write $ascii("♥") always return 63, even in code and Terminal. Is there a settings somewhere in portal for UTF-8 support ?
EDIT : I found where it's being defined, it's inside NLS (National Language Settings). 

The server has Latin1 defined, while the working local station has UTF-8. You can define different tables per category : for Terminal, Process, ...

write $ascii("♥") give me 63 (which is question mark). I'm running this in Studio output window (as for the OP).

Running this in terminal works !
I got expected result and thus same result as you.
