Alexander Klimetschek commented on OAK-4857:
--------------------------------------------
I created:
* OAK-5089 for documentation
* OAK-5090 for an escaping/unescaping utility
This is required fven if this issue is addressed and special CJK spaces will be
supported (eventually), as long as there are more characters (like whitespace)
that are invalid in Oak.
> Support space chars common in CJK inside node names

> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core

> Oak (like Jackrabbit) does not allow spaces commonly used in CJK like
> {{u3000}} (ideographic space) or {{u00A0}} (no-break space) _inside_ a node
> name, while allowing some of them (the non breaking spaces) at the _beginning
> or end_.
> They should be supported for better globalization readiness, and filesystems
> allow them, making common filesystem to JCR mappings unnecessarily hard.
> Escaping would be an option for applications, but there is currently no
> utility method for it
> ([Text.escapeIllegalJcrChars|https://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/2.8/org/apache/jackrabbit/util/Text.html#escapeIllegalJcrChars(java.lang.String)]
> will not escape these spaces), nor is it documented for applications how to
> do so.
