[PD] [list fromsymbol] and non-breaking spaces

[Liam Goodacre]

When I put a symbol containing a non-breaking space ( ASCII code 160) through 
[list fromsymbol], it generates a ghost character, 194, which is the ASCII code 
for Â. Is this a bug, or is there a reason for it?


See the attachment for a quick demonstration of.

#N canvas 351 162 1014 300 10;
#X obj 441 75 list fromsymbol;
#X obj 483 100 print ACII;
#X obj 441 229 list tosymbol;
#X symbolatom 441 251 10 0 0 0 - - -, f 10;
#X msg 441 53 symbol a a;
#X msg 342 125 98 194 160 98;
#X msg 342 152 99 160 99;
#X msg 342 208 100 194 100;
#X text 575 136 ASCII codes;
#X text 590 164 97 = a 98 = b 99 = c 100 = d, f 7;
#X text 590 216 160 = non-breaking space;
#X text 590 230 194 = Â;
#X text 541 52 <-- the non-breaking space between the two a's generates
a ghost character \, 194 \, in [list fromsymbol];
#X text 29 140 [list tosymbol] can take the ghost character or not
;
#X text 177 209 This one works as expected;
#X connect 0 0 1 0;
#X connect 0 0 2 0;
#X connect 2 0 3 0;
#X connect 4 0 0 0;
#X connect 5 0 2 0;
#X connect 6 0 2 0;
#X connect 7 0 2 0;
