Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: RFC 2152 talks about encoding 16-bit unicode, and clarifies
Surrogate pairs (UTF-16) are converted by treating each half of the pair as a separate 16 bit quantity (i.e., no special treatment). So lone surrogates clearly should be supported. This text could be interpreted as saying that decoding surrogate pairs should also keep them (rather than combining them). However, the RFC also assumes that the decoded form will use 16-bit code units; for Python, I think we should continue combining surrogate pairs on decoding UTF-7 when we find them. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13333> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
