I posted a message about a problem I was having with Unicode on the Use-List yesterday at 17.33 Central European time. [ http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-l ... 33724.html ]

It was picked up by Ali Lloyd today at 9.36 Central European time. [ http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-l ... 33772.html ]

An explanation as to what was wrong was posted by Mark Waddingham at 10.19 Central European time. [ http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-l ... 33774.html]

Mark Waddingham had already posted a bug report: http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19045

and started work on sorting things out: https://github.com/livecode/livecode/pull/5020

The problem has already been sorted out and is ready to fold into the LC 8.1.3 -rc-1 build.

Wow, Wow and Triple Wow!

Mind you, my whole GANTT chart has gone shoogly as my deliverable is dependent
on this.

Of course, if you are not prepared to wait and want to know what I did while
I was drinking coffee in a hotel lobby while my wife went swimming, you
can play with this:
It will convert Hexadecimal numbers into Decimal numbers (that's the bit I did in my head in the hotel lobby when
I finished my detective novel and the coffee), and then give you the surrogate pairs for messing around with Unicode.
