Not only Gedit doesn't display them correctly, it issues the warning: "There was a problem opening the file ... The file you opened has some invalid characters. If you continue editing this file you could corrupt this document." with the option to retry with a different character encoding. The characters are then shown in red background as follows: \ED\A0\BD\ED\B8\8D\ED\A0\BD\ED\B8\9C They are valid UTf-8 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: gedit 3.10.4-0ubuntu10 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-30.33-generic 3.19.8-ckt6 Uname: Linux 3.19.0-30-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1.5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Oct 12 21:09:34 2015 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-11 (731 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) SourcePackage: gedit UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to vivid on 2015-08-15 (57 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1505367/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
