[v8-users] Re: v8 split or charCodeAt with accents trouble.

[Oscar Rodriguez]

I've the following testing code:


var test= "á'bé";
// ascii E1, 27,62,E9
print(test.charCodeAt(0));
print(test.charCodeAt(1));
print(test.charCodeAt(2));
print(test.charCodeAt(3));

test= "\u00e1'b\u00e9";
print(test.charCodeAt(0));
print(test.charCodeAt(1));
print(test.charCodeAt(2));
print(test.charCodeAt(3));

In the first case, the result is:
65533
39
98
65533

And in the second case is:
225
39
98
233

What I expect to happen is that because the "á" still is ascii, the
function "charCodeAt" return the ascii code for it, not the unicode
value 65533.

Is that a misuse or misunderstand of some kind?
