The loosey-goosey mapping of code points to characters has always bothered me about Unicode.
To guard against this nasty issue that is going to take years to fix you can enable global UTF-8 support by doing
Settings > Time & language > Language & region > Administrative language settings > Change system locale, and check Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support. Then reboot the PC for the change to take effect.

- cryptonector 2y agoThanks for that link (bookmarked). GP Had written: | The loosey-goosey mapping of code points to characters has always bothered me about Unicode. but the ones you posted are Microsoft's Best-Fit mappings. I'm going to conclude that GP referred to just that.
