The limit would be 128 uninflected graphics (not a problem by
definition, since ASCII is a 7-bit code) and 128 inflected forms, right?
That leaves plenty of room.

Does this imply that J is limited to ~128 primitives? Estimating quickly, we're
pretty close to that limit already.

They are special internally so that each verb/adverb/conjunction can be
encoded by a single byte. It is a bug that the encoding is visible to the
user.

Why is the top half of a. special? I would think that all the documented
words J cares about are in the lower half.

Convert 232 to hex and start looking for that.
It'd be a really bad idea to depend on those encodings as that is
internal
and may change without notice.

I have no expectation of the output. I only found it because I was
checking all character combinations in a "try...catch" phrase to
determine
which ones don't give an error.
I did try it in J6 and it behaves the same way. I don't know if I
have a
copy of J5 anywhere.
It's not important - it's just something that passes my simple test
yet

not really a known J word.

The string is invalid as utf8, what would you expect the output
should be? Not sure how it will run under J504.

While experimenting with executing randomly-generated snippets of
J,
I
ran
across this:
(232{a.),'3'
Φ3
".(232{a.),'3'
$".(232{a.),'3'
0
{.".(232{a.),'3'
0
'1 2 3',(232{a.),'3 4 5'
1 2 3Φ3 4 5
".'1 2 3',(232{a.),'3 4 5'
This high-bit character seems to return i.0 for any argument.
