Hello Wilfred,

On Thursday April 17 2014 12:51, you wrote to me:

This is odd. One can expect that no implementation supports the full Uniciode character set. It is just too big and most of it is never needed by most.

But that Uniocoe set is divided in logilac chunks:

http://www.unicode.org/charts/

one would expect suport to go in the same logical chunks. The basic cyrillic characters for example are in the range U+0400 - U+04FF. If any cyrillics is supported one would expect the whole rang U+0400 - U+04FF to be supported.

But that is not what I see on your screendump. I see a mix of some cyrillic and some Latin characters. That "Z" in the thisr position of the Russian sentence is NOT a cyrillic character.

Very odd...

In Linux you have the nano editor that supposedly supports UTF-8. What happens if you write the message to a file and view it with nano?


Cheers, Michiel
