Alyssa Coghlan on Nostr: After finding a bunch of Unicode path handling bugs by intentionally adding an emoji ...
After finding a bunch of Unicode path handling bugs by intentionally adding an emoji to a project's build folder name, I wonder how fast general Unicode path handling support in applications, libraries, and frameworks would improve if more build tools did that by default. While things are definitely getting better, 7-bit ASCII assumptions are unfortunately still quite prevalent.
