The first sentence you wrote sounds like you don't care about
variable assignment :-)

Seriously, this isn't the first time nor will it be the last time this issue 
popped up, and U+2190 (left arrow) was discussed.

I think it is important to keep separate the issues of 

	character encodings (what is   95 asCharacter  )
	the syntax of the language (how to initialize Scaner)
	keyboard mappings   (InputSensor >># characterForKeycode: )
