Hi all, I am having troubles with entering non-printable Unicode characters. I am currently using (g)Vim 7.4.889 on Linux Ubuntu 12.04 (3.13.0.65 kernel), compiled with GCC 5.2.0.
Vim help states:
If everything else fails, you can type any character as four hex bytes:
CTRL-V u 1234
"1234" is interpreted as a hex number. You must type four
characters, prepend
a zero if necessary.
It works all right for common ASCII characters, however for characters
above 127 it creates unexpected results:
"""
Got from "Convert to HEX"
3a :
25 %
73 s
2d -
c2a0 Unicode non-breakable space
c2ad Unicode soft-hyphen
Test results:
s - put in with Ctrl-V u 0073 - OK
슠 - put in with Ctrl-V u c2a0 (its real code is ec8aa0) - ERROR
슭 - put in with Ctrl-V u c2ad (its real code is ec8aad) - ERROR
"""
As you can see the last two hex numbers put in are interpreted correctly
(i.e. a0 is a0, ad is ad), however the first two ones are changed: c2
becomes ec8a.
So I wonder whether I am doing it wrong or whether I should write a bug
report. Any help or advice appreciated.
Thx
