Bonus points if Nathan wants to check to confirm that it works.

I assume the use of separate be/le versions was just an oversight?

I assume the use of separate be/le versions was just an oversight? I think we have two options here: 1. Cherry pick the fixes from main, I think that would mean (at least) 307875@main and 310857@main , but they change more things and don't have time to test it. 2. Make the minimal change to fix this specific issue, in this case we can keep the #if CPU(BIG_ENDIAN) to keep it consistent with the rest of the file, or use simdutf::convert_valid_utf8_to_utf16 as you suggest. I think it's the same either way. I just verified that option (2) solves the problem with a test build on s390x, so I'll prepare a pull request. The problem was also visible in the details of the fail assertion, from the logs: "\346\240\200\347\220\200\347\220\200\347\200\200\347\214\200\343\250\200\342\274\200\342\274\200\346\250\200\346\204\200\342\270\200\347\234\200\346\244\200\346\254\200\346\244\200\347\200\200\346\224\200\346\220\200\346\244\200\346\204\200\342\270\200\346\274\200\347\210\200\346\234\200 [...]" == "https://ja.wikipedia.org [...]) The actual value on the left is the result of doing this conversion: $ printf "https://ja.wikipedia.org" | iconv -f utf8 -t utf16le | iconv -f utf16be -t utf8 | od -An -t o1 346 240 200 347 220 200 347 220 200 347 200 200 347 214 200 343 250 200 342 274 200 342 274 200 346 250 200 346 204 200 342 270 200 347 234 200 346 244 200 346 254 200 346 244 200 347 200 200 346 224 200 346 220 200 346 244 200 346 204 200 342 270 200 346 274 200 347 210 200 346 234 200 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/epiphany- browser/+bug/2149886/comments/6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2026-04-23T10:34:29+00:00 Alberto Garcia wrote: Pull request: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/63416 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/epiphany- browser/+bug/2149886/comments/7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2026-04-23T10:49:30+00:00 Ews-feeder wrote: Committed 305877.448@webkitglib/2.52 (585ad22df82d): <https://commits.webkit.org/305877.448@webkitglib/2.52> Reviewed commits have been landed.
