Re: [TCLCORE] Unicode in Tcl 9 - a commentary and critique

[<apn...@ya...>]

Here too, from the Jan 17 build artifact,

 

% encoding convertto ascii \uDC00

?

% encoding convertto utf-8 \uDC00

unexpected character at index 0: 'U+00DC00'

 

I thought there was a way to get the fossil commit id from script but can’t seem to find it.

So, I am wondering which version of Tcl 9.0 you were testing.

 

Another example from the document:

    For the second case, the default handling depends on the encoding being used.

    % encoding convertto ascii \uDC00
    ?
    % encoding convertto utf-8 \uDC00
    unexpected character at index 0: 'U+00DC00'

    Notice how the treatment of surrogates differs between the two encodings.

If I try this:

    $ tclsh9.0

    % encoding convertto ascii \uDC00

    unexpected character at index 0: 'U+00DC00'

    % encoding convertto utf-8 \uDC00

    unexpected character at index 0: 'U+00DC00'

 

Again, which version of Tcl 9.0 are you testing?

 

Hope this helps,
