Hi Tuba,
Are you quite sure that #{\a \b \c} is not what you want? In Clojure's
notation, a backslashed character [more or less] refers to a
single-character string--something akin to the char type from C. Hence \a is
the character a. On the other hand #{a b c} is a set containing three
Clojure symbols, which is probably not what you want.
(If you want to be using a, b, and c as some kind of identifiers, take a
look at keywords.)
