But – Patrick you work on Mac, too – in which editor/application can I actually *see* a difference?
Don't ask me. I've used emacs and asked it (C-u C-x =) to get me information on the character and it told me the unicode codepoint.
I'm on a Mac, too. I use TextWrangler (free edition of BBedit, http://www.barebones.com/ products/textwrangler/download.shtml), there you can open (and re- open) a file in different encodings - i.e. open a UTF encoded file as ISO-Latin-1, enable "show invisibles" and you can see the whole cruft. Or look at a hex dump.
That's right. I love TextWrangler too. Just the fixed-width Monaco doesn't show a visual difference between \‚ and \, But the trick with re-opening the UTF encoded file with ISO-Latin-1 is nice: now finally the difference is viewable!! Just to have a proper (fixed-width) font that pays respect to this difference (like between – and -) would be great!! Steffen
