| Summary | deline/lines misinterprets UTF-8 character as newline |
|---|---|
| Description |
In the Syllable websites, we have a Slovenian version. One character that is also in the native name of the language: SlovenÅ¡čina the č is interpreted as a newline by deline/lines and functions that use it, such as read/lines, so that the text is corrupted and broken up. č is UTF-8 C48D in hex. This is a common character in Slovenian, so this is a major problem in Slovenian text. I haven't tested further, so there may also be other characters with the same problem. I've also had other problems with DELINE, but haven't analysed those yet. |
| Example code |
deline/lines "SlovenÅ¡čina" |

Note: This problem does not occur on Windows (at least on XP with a Unicode console font).
This should be easy to fix, so I lowered the severity. It is important to fix so I raised the priority. There are other DELINE bugs that also need fixing. |

read/lines has this issue too, when the text file contains certain Chinese characters, and is in utf-8. |
