This is a quantum leap for Pd. This extension to the [list] family opens a whole lot of new possibility. Thanks for including it into the upcoming Pure Data. And thanks to Chris McCormick who I believe provided the patch.
As a native German speaker, I had to try it out with ä ö ü, of course. [list fromsymbol] gives me '-61 -92' for ä. Is there a reason it outputs signed numbers (-128 to 127) instead of the (supposedly more common) byte representation (0 to 255)?
[list tosymbol] deals with both the same way. Both '-61 -92' and '195 164' return an 'ä'.
