past tech problems: some tech cannot deal with German umlauts
2022 tech problems: some tech cannot deal with the the character 'u'
@JennyFluff Not sure if progress...
Observed behaviour: "u" gets displayed correctly but "ü" does not.
Developer: "They forgot to fill in the expected behaviour so I'll have to guess."
@samgai my hypothesis: it tries to parse u as \u and fails to parse it as unicode
@JennyFluff @samgai then why is there no other letter with that issue
this is just weird
@efi @JennyFluff @samgai for example \u0107 is #ć. but if there parsing fails, i'd expect to see or �, unless this is a custom parser.
@JennyFluff @meena @samgai but how is u not in the charset
@efi @samgai u is in the charset. it's just being… mistreated, by an overzealous parser, or at least that's @JennyFluff's (very plausible) theory.
@JennyFluff The cherry on top is that "Vielen Dank für Ihnen Auftrag" is printed correctly.
I guess the printer was ünhappy about the lack of ümlauts on most of the ü's.
@samgai I assume this was pre-printed, it looked like a form paper fed to a printer
The font style "Bold" does not contain an > u < ;-)
@JennyFluff türns oüt, even with ünicode some people can still mess things üp
