Yes, these are lookup tables for character classification like #isLetter and #isLowercase. Now what bothers me more is that the character classification in Pharo is dead slow. Other Smalltalk implementations have much more space and time efficient implementations. > 2) If I don't use UTF and I send an encoding as parameter in the VM > (different from UTF), do I need this class side variables? AFAIK the encoding just defines how characters are passed into the VM. This does not affect how characters are represented inside.
