All of these items are equivalent:
```
q)"10" 
"10" 

q)("1";"0") 
"10" 

q)("10") 
"10"
```
They all resolve to 2 item lists containing characters

Here are some more example queries which may help:
```
q)select from t where Vals in `$/:("1";"10") 
Vals 
---- 
1 10 


q)select from t where Vals in `$/:("1";"0") 
Vals 
---- 
1 0 


q)select from t where Vals in `$"10" 
Vals 
---- 
10 


q)select from t where Vals in `$"1" 
Vals 
---- 
1
```
You can use ‘=’ rather than ‘in’ if you are searching for only one value:
```
q)select from t where Vals=`$"1" 
Vals 
---- 
1
```
You can input your symbols directly rather than casting:

q)`0`1`10 `0`1`10
