Thanks, that's a bug in the code that helps wrapping labels at the right
position for the icon view
nautilus-icon-canvas-item.c has this code
"
#define ZERO_WIDTH_SPACE "\xE2\x80\x8B"
for (p = text; *p != '\0'; p++) {
str = g_string_append_c (str, *p);
if (*p == '_' || *p == '-' || (*p == '.' &&
!g_ascii_isdigit(*(p+1)))) {
/* Ensure that we allow to break after '_' or
'.' characters,
* if they are not followed by a number */
str = g_string_append (str, ZERO_WIDTH_SPACE);
}
}"
it seems like the "zero width space" is what is creating the issue, I'm
unsure why that's happening though.
One bug I can see is that the code is iterating over char types, and an
utf8 non ascii glyph might not fit in a char, so it could insert value
in the middle of an utf8 sequence and corrupt it, but that doesn't seem
to be what is happening there since the "weird" glyphs are added after
"_" and "."

Title:
Strange character showing in file listing in Nautilus in some views,
for Thai language file names
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in “nautilus” source package in Precise:
Triaged
Bug description:
In some views in Nautilus, there is a strange character appearing
right after particular characters such as . (dot) and - (dash) when
using Thai script in the file name.
Note that this does not happen in List view (Ctrl-2) , only icon view
(either Ctrl-1 or Ctrl-3). Also, when renaming a file, the strange
character disappears.
I attach some screen shots. Screenshots 1 and 3 show the problem,
with the character appearing in front of a dot or dash. Screenshot 2
(list view) show that there is no issue there. Screenshot 4 shows
what happens when renaming a file: the strange character(s) disappear.
Note when I take a file name and insert a dot or dash at any point
within the Thai name, the strange character appears in the affected
views. This seems to happen only with dot and dash, but not with
regular a-z characters or characters like #, $, ! etc. (I did not try
all 128 low ascii characters though).
EDIT: I can only add one attachment. Will add the other ones in
follow-up comments.
