Unicode doesn't say which syntax a character should have in Emacs. Even if we give guillemets "generic string delimiter" syntax, it doesn't mean emacs thinks it's not a punctuation character. What emacs thinks is just that its SYNTAX is not "punctuation character", which doesn't conflict wiht Unicode's definition about a character. BTW, we shouldn't guess how characters are used from their name. Unicode's character names are just names. "General Category" of Unicode Character Database gives official categorization, and it gives "Pi" to `�' and "Pf" to `�'. Ps Punctuation, Open Pe Punctuation, Close Pi Punctuation, Initial quote (may behave like Ps or Pe depending on usage) Pf Punctuation, Final quote (may behave like Ps or Pe depending on usage) So, it seems that even Unicode thinks that they are supposed to be used as a pair in some sense. --- Ken'ichi HANDA [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
