Or, you know, it would be nice to have a shell that didn’t assume everyone lives in North America and speaks only a single language..?
Lots of things written more recently have shown that support for more, eh, inclusive, character encodings can work just fine.
- rascul 3y agoI meant things like whitespace and non printable characters though. I guess I could have been more specific.
- 9dev 3y agoAh, that’s fair. I thought you were referring to the „strange“ letters used in the parent comment.
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoAll the characters in my example are printable. Not all of the octets are, of course, but octets aren't characters. And spaces are extremely common in names, e.g. music track and album names contain spaces more often than not (and thus usually end up in file names). If you can't even support using the biggest key on every keyboard in file names you're doing something horribly wrong.
