Public bug reported:
I have a .sql text file which contains these two valid 3-byte utf-8 characters:
😍😜 (it's two smilies).
Not only Gedit doesn't display them correctly, it issues the warning:
"There was a problem opening the file ...
The file you opened has some invalid characters. If you continue editing this
file you could corrupt this document."
with the option to retry with a different character encoding.
The characters are then shown in red background as follows:
\ED\A0\BD\ED\B8\8D\ED\A0\BD\ED\B8\9C
They are valid UTf-8
