Hi All,

I ran into this problem.  Has anyone seen this before?

I was importing a file that contained some sort of char code 160.
http://www.adamkoch.com/2009/07/25/white-space-and-character-160/ says this
is a non-breaking space.

I pasted the character into Squeak. When trying to inspect it in squeak I
get illegal character.

Illegal character (char code 160 16r16rA0) ->

The 16r16r seems to be an error in the method and not a real number

xIllegal
"An illegal character was encountered"
self halt.
self notify: 'Illegal character (char code ' , hereChar charCode , *' 16r'*
, hereChar charCode hex , ')' at: mark

But if I inspect Character nbsp I get a character 160 that seems to work
fine.

Here is the stack.  I added a halt in xIllegal.

And to top it off if I inspect hereChar on xIllegal in the debugger I get a
char 160 that works fine!

I'm not sure how to determine what exactly what is the difference between
the two characters.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

All the best,
