[texinfo.tex 2022-12-19.22]
Consider this input file ``` \input texinfo · @bye ``` (the character is U+00B7, MIDDLE DOT). Only pdfTeX produces this character; both XeTeX and LuaTeX silently discard it. If you replace '·' with, say, 'Æ' (U+00C6, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AE), both XeTeX and LuaTeX abort with ``` Runaway argument? ! Paragraph ended before @UTFviiiTwoOctets was complete. <to be read again> @par ``` If you replace it with 'ÿ' (U+00FF, LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS), you get ``` ! Undefined control sequence. l.3 ÿ ``` If you replace it with 'Ā' (U+0100, LATIN CAPITEL LETTER A MACRON), you get a~log warning ``` Missing character: There is no Ā ("100) in font cmr10! ``` inspite of a proper `\DeclareUnicodeCharacter` line for this character in `texinfo.tex`. Ouch, ouch, ouch :-) Werner
