Subject: A washing function to turn Unicode punctuation into ASCII
Date: Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:27:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3lj5375vo.fsf@quimbies.gnus.org> (raw)
I was reading Hacker News on my E72 yesterday, and many of the articles
were kinda, er, not very readable, because characters like “ were
rendered as 0x+201c in the article buffer, or something as awful.
Probably because the font wasn't available? Or something?
So my question is: Does Emacs have a function to, er, translate these
characters into their nearest ASCII equivalents? Or should I just write
a Gnus washing function for that? I'm guessing that there aren't more
than 20 commonly used characters that it would make sense to wash this
way...
