Package: bash Version: 4.2+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
If I paste, say, "🇬🇧" onto the command line, it comes out looking like reverse video "<0001f1ec><0001f1e7>". That is, bash is using 8 hex digits to represent Unicode codepoints. Given that Unicode only goes up to U+10FFFF (though the situation with ISO 10646 seems a bit more hazy -- probably because it isn't freely available), it's kind of silly to use 8 hex digits for the codepoints, don't you think? -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 7.2 ii dash 0.5.7-3+nmu1 ii debianutils 4.4 ii libc6 2.18-4 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20130608-1 Versions of packages bash recommends: ii bash-completion 1:2.1-2 Versions of packages bash suggests: ii bash-doc 4.2+dfsg-1 -- no debconf information -- Hi!
