I don't think that one is a show stopper because if you can guarantee the rest will not break C provides you with \ escapes so you can paste the string in that way. So the question is the one about feeding utf-8 to glibc functions and internal cleanness of gtk/glib (eg what C library dependancies does it have). Having to use \ escapes for the quotes is a trivial inconvenience. > They don't just look better. They're easier to read. > What's more, they're correct.
