hex \ so bytes print nicely [ "\u0041", "\u00F6", "\u0416", "\u20AC" ] \ add the 0x1D11E one; the '\u' string notation requires four hex digits "" 1D11E s:+ a:push \ for each test, print it out and its bytes: ( dup . space b:new ( . space drop ) b:each cr ) a:each! drop cr \ now the inverse: [ [41], [C3,B6], [D0,96], [E2,82,AC], [$F0,9D,84,9E] ] ( dup . space b:new >s . cr ) a:each! drop bye
