(String with: (Character value: (Integer readFrom: '20AC' base: 16))) = (String with: (Character value: (Integer readFrom: '80' base: 16))) than you might be safe. By using Windows-1252 code points aren't unique anymore. Every code point in the range 0x80 - 0x9F exists somewhere else, too. So my estimation would be that it will cause more trouble than it might solve. > Squeak clearly uses CP1252. > For Pharo, there might be a mix of the two since Sophie-like > refactorings. Surely what John was refering to. In pharo the 20AC string gives me a euro sign but the 80 hex one prints a rectangle which is _a_ interpretation of '?' ;) Norbert >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Pharo-project mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project >> > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
