That depends on what you're trying to read from it. I can look at a hex number and instantly get a mental picture of the bit pattern it represents. I can't do that with decimal numbers. This is the reason hex exists. It's used when the bit pattern represented by a number is more important to know than its numerical value. This is the case with Unicode code points. Their numerical value is irrelevant, but the bit pattern conveys useful information, such as which page and plane it belongs to, whether it fits in 1 or 2 bytes, etc. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
