Sure it would. Both unichar (as typedef'd) and char are integer types in C. '7' is another way of writing a number, although not the number 7. Which number depends on the encoding of your source file, but in most modern systems it would be ASCII or UTF-8. (I don't know if, for example, EBCDIC is still used on any modern systems.) In either of those, '7' is the same
as 0x37 or 55.

Except I recall that Cocoa often uses UTF-116 or UCS2 internally...

Cocoa does use UTF-16 as the encoding for its unichar type in NSStrings, but the low 7-bits of UTF-16 (characters 0-127) are identical to the ASCII encodings, so you can cast (char)'7' or (unichar)'7' and get 0x37 either way and it'll be interpreted as the '7' character in a string as you would expect.

Hope this helps,
