Is there a list that Smalltalk provides to show which keyboard character represents which number ?

Transcript show: ((898324234234324329) printStringBase: 150); cr.

After executing the above code, I get the following:

I understand that each of those characters represents a number which in this
case must be less than 150.
Is there a list that Smalltalk provides to show which keyboard character
represents which number ?

The code should give an error for any base > 36.

Right now it doesn't. If the receiver is a SmallInteger it simply uses the Unicode character "n + 55" for a digit value "n", which accidentally works for bases up to 200.

Btw, you do not need the Transcript to see the result. Simply select an expression and "print it" (via menu, or Cmd/Alt-p keyboard shortcut)

898324234234324329 printStringBase: 16

=> 'C777D21AAA96569'
