[aur-general] AUR UTF-8 support?
Hi, I posted a message ending with the character "😄" on the AUR today, but that character got stripped. Does AUR not have UTF-8 support? Have I bumped into a new issue? Thanks, -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right. Q: Why should I start my reply below the quoted text?

How is that an issue? Do you really think there is a sane project with such character in its name? Do you expect users to search charactar map to install your package? Bartłomiej

I think he is talking about comments. Issues like this should be discussed on the bug tracker (and maybe on aur-dev), though.

Indeed, I meant comments. I'll take this to aur-dev then, thanks. -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right. Q: Why should I start my reply below the quoted text?

I think he means "message" as in comment. I don't see him talking about a package name anywhere. Florian -- http://www.the-compiler.org | me@the-compiler.org (Mail/XMPP) GPG: 916E B0C8 FD55 A072 | http://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc I love long mails! | http://email.is-not-s.ms/

Thanks,
The MySQL character encoding we use does not support such 4 byte characters and they'll probably be silently removed. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com
