At first, coding system (utf-8) doesn't replace unsupported characters with '?' on decoding. It preserves the original byte sequence and attaches a special text property to display it the Unicode replacement character U+FFFD. But, as we can't do that in read_escape, I propose to simply signal an error as unsupported character. I think anything else leads to unexpected behavior. --- Kenichi Handa [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
