Good point, but in MacRoman only the control characters are unprintable, so
a very simple test will at least produce something where you can tell what
it is:

void Print(FourCharCode id)
{
if (id >= 0x20202020)
printf("%.4s", (char*)&id);
else
printf("0x%08x", id);
}

I can break that!

Print(0x30004142);

would be rendered as "0".

I think we've shown that this is a complex problem. OTOH, there aren't THAT many ASCII codes to memorize, and if you're looking for a couple of _particular_ FourCharCode values, you can learn their hex representations...
