no two sequences are exactly alike.
It is very odd, v‚rit‚. I think what you're seeing is a different, but perhaps related, problem. I take it you're on a Mac, no? The Mac does not properly render the characters that SI (in either implementation) seems to be sending correctly.
I chose a number of odd characters from a list of valid HTML character elements. (In numerical form, the string was 219;229;230;241; 191;213;208;208;?). I entered that from the keyboard on a PC and the correct character show up.
PC keyboard: ꆑ¤ ¨åÑÑ?
html mapping: ꆑ¤ ¨åÑÑ?
(The html mapping is done by entering the numbers listed in the preceding paragraph and placing "&#" in front of each one.)
Both of those lines should look the same on a PC and should show up in the new SI in the way I entered them. But, I suspect they will look different on a Mac. What's odd, though, is that if I enter the html mapping from a Mac, they show up as expected. (Demonstrated/tested after an edit.)
I don't know how to enter those characters from a Mac keyboard, so I'll use just the html mapping entered on a Mac (8.6):
html mapping: ꆑ¤ ;¨åÑÑ?
Mac IE, which shows them properly initially destroys a few of the characters in editing. Mac Navigator never shows them properly. In other words, it's a browser bug. (Or, since we're talking about a Mac, a "feature". <g>) |
