Hi

Mapping seems to be buggy with some characters.
For instance:

:imap ' foo

does not work (the apostrophe is U+2019). If the mapped string
contains this apostrophe but does not begin with it, there is no
problem. For instance, this works:

:imap x' foo

But it is impossible to map a string beginning with this apostrophe,
and the <Char-0x2019> construct does not help. This is weird, because
there is no problem with mapping the usual apostrophe U+0027. Other
paradoxes can be found : It is possible to map the no-break space
(U+00A0) but not its thin version (U+202F), the usual minus sign
(U+002D) but not the en-dash (U+2013) and the em-dash (U+2014).

I first thought vim had a problem with mapping multibyte characters
but it actually deals well with most of them. Any explanation, why the
mapping does not work with some characters?

Thanks for your help

Thomas
