Obviously the IDE is at fault here. Rider has a bug with Unicode.
BUT, there is an easy workaround to avoid all Unicode related bugs: don't use Unicode. If that's morally objectionable for you, then you can keep fighting this fight.
- tremon 5y agoI think it's reasonable to find that morally objectionable: English is the only language* that can be fully represented in ASCII, so pretending that ASCII is all you need excludes a large part of the world. * yes, by and large. Many languages make do, but even the European languages that use the same script as English cannot be fully represented: - Pretty much all mainland European languages use accents (simple example, in Spanish el and él are different words) - French misses ç - German/Swiss/Austrian misses ß - Spanish misses ñ - Dutch misses ij
- Muromec 5y agoCyrillic-writing countries miss all of their alphabets and so does Greek.
- Symbiote 5y agoNot even Britain and Ireland can manage with ASCII: they need £ and €. I agree with you, and disagree strongly with dahfizz, who is essentially telling people their name and language are unacceptable.
- InitialLastName 5y agoIt's naïve of you to maintain the façade that English can be fully represented in ASCII. We've just had longer than other languages to adapt to that particular encoding technology, and the good luck to have a code set built to represent our language become the lingua franca of computer technology.
- tremon 5y agoA single example is worth more than a thousand slights.
- bivargen 5y agoAvoiding unicode, or anything but 7-bit ASCII is like using chiseling text into a stone instead of pen and paper because the pen might break. Fix the pen! Or replace it with a computer (and we're back full circle)! It is not morally objectionable avoiding, it's just stupid.
