[Glass] Encoding in Topaz files ...

[James Foster via Glass]

Yes, Jade does some conversions in bringing strings from the server to the client. The best way to tell the internal GemStone representation is to keep as much of the evaluation on the server as possible. For example:
	myString class name
or:
	(MyClass compiledMethodAt: #’mySelector’) sourceString class name
If you evaluate these then you will get a better idea of what is stored internally.

If you want to see the characters themselves, then you could convert them (again, on the server):
	myString asArray collect: [:each | each codePoint]

My understanding is that Dolphin’s support for Unicode is minimal so I’m somewhat constrained on how to show things in a Win32 environment.
