--- Comment #7 from خالد حسني <[email protected]> --- Someone’s exotic character is another one’s essential part of the text. Removing ZWNJ from Persian text alters its meaning, removing ZWJ from Emoji sequences alters their meaning, removing Unicode Variation Selectors from CJK text alters its meaning. Removing BiDi control characters from text changes its intended rendering and possibly the meaning. The notion here is fundamentally flawed, there is no such thing as exotic characters in a multilingual and multicultural piece of software, this is very monolingual way of thinking. Also, don’t copy text from PDF, that is your actual problem. PDF is not a text exchange format, despite what PDF stakeholders want to sell people. If you get “exotic” characters copying text from any other source, there is more than a 90% chance these are essential part of the text. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
