Feature request: properly support zero-length 'characters'

Open pepa65 opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

I've asked about this before, but I thought it would be good to have this on Github. When editing files with characters that get modified by zero-length characters (like in my case, Thai), those zero-length additions get represented by a ? in ne.

Most common editors have this fixed now (nano, vi) so it seems the external infrastructure is in place. Would you be willing to look into this again?

Maybe not for this release, but, yes. A sample file with intended result/actual result would be useful!

The famous one would be https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt When looking at the Thai text, instead of displaying question marks, it should display the relevant tone/vowel/other marks above or under the preceding consonant.
