Veronica Olsen 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇴🌻Got a bug report for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@novelwriter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@novelwriter</a> from someone who uses Cuneiform text in their work. These are 4 byte Unicode symbols, and turned out to be very tricky to handle. 😅The app is built with Python, which will switch a string to UCS-4 when it contains such characters, so the characters always have a single index in the string.However, the Qt library uses UTF-16. That means 4-byte characters use two slots, creating a mismatch in indices between the two representations.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Python</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Qt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Qt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Code" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Code</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Unicode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Unicode</a>
