You do not need to type this character to test the mapping, you can
simply paste it with the mouse, while being in Insert mode. (By the
way, there is a useful package in Debian simply called "unicode" which
allows to look up easily for unicode characters from the shell
prompt.)
U+2019 is encoded as E2 80 99 while U+2200 is E2 88 80. I wonder if the
presence of a 0x80 in the middle might cause a bug in gvim.
The narrow no-break space is e2 80 af ; the en-dash, e2 80 93 ; the
em-dash, e2 80 94 ; the hyphen, e2 80 90 ; and the mapping of these
characters fails, so you might have a valid explanation, Tony.
Did you try the code snippet in my previous post?
Yes. It did not report any error, the apostrophe appears in the list
of mappings but when I type it, it is not replaced with "foo".
Thanks
Thomas
After testing all Alt-Gr combinations, I find that AltGr-Shift-b is ’ U+2019,
your apostrophe-like symbol, and I can reproduce your problem:
Bug report
==========
Summary: 3-byte UTF-8 codepoints whose middle byte is 0x80 are not recognised
to invoke a mapping.
Description:
When 'encoding' is UTF-8, if codepoints whose UTF-8 representation includes
0x80 in the second of three bytes (such as U+2018, upper-6 quote; U+2019,
upper-9 quote; U+201C double upper-6 quote; U+201D double upper-9 quote) are
used as the {lhs} of a mapping, these mappings will appear in the list, but
they will not be recognised when typed at the keyboard.
Vim Version affected:
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.0 (2006 May 7, compiled Feb 27 2007 23:05:12)
Included patches: 1-204
Compiled by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Huge version with GTK2-GNOME GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):
[...]
Reproducible: Every time.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Find a computer whose keyboard has, available at the keyboard, at least one
character in the range U+2000 to U+203F. (On openSUSE Linux 10.2 with kde and
fr_BE "azerty" keyboard, AltGr-v, AltGr-V, AltGr-b and Alt-Gr-B are such
codepoints.)
2. Make sure that your version of gvim has +multi_byte and that 'encoding' is
set to UTF-8.
3. Define a mapping with such a codepoint in the {lhs}. Example:
:map! ’ foo
where the {lhs} is U+2019, upper-9 single quote.
4. List the mappings (":map!" with no argument). Notice that the mapping
defined at step 2 is listed.
5. In Insert mode, hit the key corresponding to the {lhs} of the new mapping
(here: AltGr-Shift-b to trigger ’).
Actual behaviour: The character is inserted literally; the mapping is not
invoked.
Expected behaviour: The mapping should have been invoked.

Have you ever wondered what makes Californians so calm? Besides drugs,
I mean. The answer is hot tubs. A hot tub is a redwood container
filled with water that you sit in naked with members of the opposite
sex, none of whom is necessarily your spouse. After a few hours in
their hot tubs, Californians don't give a damn about earthquakes or
mass murderers. They don't give a damn about anything , which is why
they are able to produce "Laverne and Shirley" week after week.
