| 22:45 | < [R]> | Is that supposed to be a box? |
| 22:45 | <&McMartin> | That is in fact UNICODE CHARACTER U+1F4A9 'PILE OF FECES' |
| 22:46 | < [R]> | Ah |
| 23:20 | <@celticminstrel> | I don't really understand why people would use emoticons for variables. |
| 23:20 | <@celticminstrel> | Emoticons are practically impossible to type, aren't they? |
| 23:20 | | Emmy [Emmy@Nightstar-9p7hb1.direct-adsl.nl] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 23:20 | <&McMartin> | Presumably they're using text editors that autoreplace :poop: as needed, or whatever |
| 23:25 | <&jeroud> | The correct way to handle unicode in situations like that is to treat branch names as opaque bytestrings. |
| 23:27 | <&jeroud> | By all means, have the display layer try to guess encodings or whatever. |
| 23:27 | <&jeroud> | But don't do that in the guts of the CI machinery. |
| 23:29 | <&jeroud> | Slightly related: Back when I worked on our messaging system, "Chinese Zoë" was a standard indentifier for a particular kind of encoding error. |
| 23:32 | <&jeroud> | One of the more common telco-to-non-telco protocols specified that, unless otherwise indicated, all unicode content was to be UCS2 encoded. |
| 23:32 | <&ToxicFrog> | celticminstrel: most editors can be configured to autoreplace; more generally, linux (and presumably other OSes) lets you expand compose key functionality to type whatever you want. |
| 23:33 | <&jeroud> | However, most telcos/aggregators interpreted that as UTF8 or latin1. |
| 23:35 | <&jeroud> | So we'd send a test message consisting of the Chief Engineer's infant daughter's name, and frequently got garbage unicode. |
| 23:36 | <&jeroud> | Turns out interpreting UTF8 Latin-alphabet text as UCS2 puts you right in the middle of the Chinese section of the Basic Multilingual Plane. |
| 23:38 | <&jeroud> | For a while, I was even able to determine what encoding the telco was using based on the particular Chinese characters Zoë was turned into. |
