I've just installed get-byte.

(get-byte &optional POSITION STRING)

Return a byte value of a character at point.
Optional 1st arg POSITION, if non-nil, is a position of a character to get
a byte value.
Optional 2nd arg STRING, if non-nil, is a string of which first
character is a target to get a byte value.  In this case, POSITION, if
non-nil, is an index of a target character in the string.

I wrote it in C because, I think it must run very fast in
the situaiont when this function is called.
