On Linux, how could you make standard tools highlight or differentiate potentially misleading characters?
I guess the solution would have to be in the terminal emulator? Would a blacklist of Unicode ranges be sufficient?
- mikelward 15y agoA "safe" font that renders Cyrillic characters as a box? Change my system back to ASCII? :-)
- feydr 15y agood -h -- I used to run into this problem a lot when I was writing grammars against different locales
- mikelward 15y agoI'm aware of od, xxd, etc. I'm wondering if there's a way to make it more obvious that doesn't require running od. It should be immediately apparent any time there's a file with a whacky name, not something you find out two minutes into investigating a compromise.
