Im new to smalltalk so im not sure how you derived the numbers. So if I have 000A as a unicode how do I do the transformation? I donât know how you got 2r10101101 16rA And what are base r and number in <base>r<number> ?

Im not sure where you got the 16r0026 from. What I have is something like this U+0009 CHARACTER TABULATION (tab) U+000A LINE FEED (LF) U+000C FORM FEED (FF) U+0020 SPACE
Whats on the left is the unicode representation. In some cases there is no actual character to compare to( so I cant compare to < > &....) What I will have to do is to create a character with unicode value U+000A. I have tried myCharacter:= 000A asCharacter. But it doesn't work.
When I try to print myCharacter it gives an error because it doesn't understand the A.
because 000A is not valid literal in smalltalk. it is actually understood by compiler as unary message: 0 A if you want to use hexadecimal integer litrals, you should use radix notation: <base>r<number> try: 2r10101101 16rA
Thanks Mohammad
