BTW, I just tried replacing the pound sign [35( with unicode [8983( which is a
pound sign for telephones.
This works on the current Pd 0.51

how so ?

on my machines (win, debian) ASCII code is still wrapped between 0 and 255, like always.

actually no.
ASCII is 0..127 by definition.

otoh, bytes are 8bit numbers, which cover a range of 0..255.

so sending ASCII 8983 to [list tosymbol] outputs the same result as ASCII 23. (I'm on PD 0.51.2)

you need to convert the unicode codepoint to utf8.
for the unicodepoint 8983, the utf-8 sequence is "232 166 131".
feeding this sequence to [list tosymbol] will give you "覃" (which is think is what you want).

And yes, I agree it would be great if canvases would allow this character to be displayed correctly.

but they do. since ages.

i'm honestly baffled by this discussion.
afaik we have a working unicode implementation in Pd for more than 10 years.
what's the buzz, tell me what's a-happening...
