------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jan 29 23:26:46 -0800 2007 ------- Problem A hyperlink does not work under certain circumstances. If a URL of a hyperlink includes characters in %xx and/or &#xx; notation encoded in not UTF-8, unexpected garbage characters might appear. Example Look at the following URL encoded in EUC-JP: http://xxx/%A5%BB%A5%F3%A5%C8%A1%A6%A5%D8%A5%EC%A5%F3%A5%BA%BB%B3 There are 9 Japanese characters in it: %A5%BB %A5%F3 %A5%C8 %A1%A6 %A5%D8 %A5%EC %A5%F3 %A5%BA %BB%B3 According to the Section 3.9 "Unicode Encoding Forms" [1], the following sequences of bytes can be mistakenly recognized as UTF-8: %C8%A1 %D8%A5 %F3%A5%BA%BB Look at an attached example file, the sequeces memtioned above are forcedly converted into characters. One of possible solutions: 1. Try to convert a string in %xx and/or &#xx; notation into UCS-2. 2a. If a conversion error occurs, leave the string untached. 2b. If a conversion into UCS-2 is successful, the string will be substitued with the converted one. For the example above, the first byte, %A5, is not a correct byte of UTF-8, thus is cannot be converted into UCS-2. Therefore, the string, whole URL, should remain in an original one. Acknowlegemets toumatsu firstly reported this henomeon at the OOo FAQ site [2] and then kimotomasaya and M.Kamataki confirmed the phenomeon.
