[Gramps-devel] Gedcom export ANSEL output strangeness

[Julio S. <jul...@gm...>]

I don't know if it's just me, but I find that the code in
ansel_utf8.py for utf8_to_ansel does not makes sense, essentially
because it is not getting a UTF8 sequence on input, but a wide
character string instead.  The code tries to compensate for this
misunderstanding, but gets many cases wrong.

I find that the following patch gives better output:

Does this make sense?
