*2D is not a soft hyphen*, it is a hyphen!
If you have used it as a soft hyphen for hyphenation, then you should first replace them
with a *true soft hyphen: AD (U+00AD)*
* Here is a soft hyphen between xx and zz : xxzz
* and this is a normal hyphen xx-yy

I'm loading my book into a text frame chain from a text file. I want to control which words can be
hyphenated, so I have the soft hyphen character, hex 2D, in particular words throughout my text
file as I wish. I right-click on the frame and use the "Get Text..." dialog to load the
frame, but the soft hyphen character is displayed in the frame as a black diamond with a question
mark in it, and the character is not treated as a soft hyphen. If I delete that character in
Scribus and use "Insert | Character | Soft Hyphen" or Ctrl+Shift+-, then everything works
as expected.
I've verified that my text file encoding is UTF-8, and that "UTF-8" is selected in the "Get
Text..." dialog. I've tried my text file with or without a BOM, and still the results are the same.
I'm on Windows, and If I change both my text file encoding and the "Get Text..." encoding option to
Windows-1252 then the soft hyphen comes across properly, but then other characters from my file, for example
the pilcrow, are goofed up. My text file has some pretty obscure Unicode characters, so I think I need to
stick with UTF-8.
Should I look at tags and text filters or some scripting as a workaround, or is
there some easier way to do this? Shouldn't a soft hyphen character in a text
file be treated the same as one inserted from the Scribus insert menu?
Hi Matt,
It's probably something about the encoding.
The quickest fix might come from using Search/Replace. You can copy/paste the
unwanted character into the search box.
