I've been trying to find out how gracefully Aspell doesn't handle UTF-8, so I can figure out whether it's safe to use with something like nxml-mode in Emacs, which seems to be biased toward using UTF-8 for special characters like accented letters, quotes, and em-dashes. I haven't seen it "eat" UTF-8 encoded files when it's been used with GEdit or Bluefish, and when I tried to get it to do Bad Things(TM) by using it directly, it didn't work. There were, of course, display problems with the curses interface, but I haven't gotten it to corrupt anything.
Why is this? Is it dumb luck? Or is there something in Aspell or in the lower level libraries on which it depends, like glibc, that allows it to just skip over the UTF-8 bits? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
