Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:48:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150312084827.6683072a@arcor.com> (raw)
Hi all,
If I run this minimal example
\starttext
�
\stopluacode
\stoptext
I get
tex error > error on line 3 in file /data/tmp/u1.tex: ! String
contains an invalid utf-8 sequence
and some more lines.
The character above is:
Character: �
Character name: REPLACEMENT CHARACTER
Charblock: Specials
Category: Other symbol
Unicode: U+fffd
UTF8: 0xefbfbd
which is a valid utf8 character.
Questions:
1. Why is it considered to be invalid?
2. Are there other valid utf8 characters which are considered invalid?
Just wanting to understand.

Manfred
