Subject: bug#1727: 23.0.60; char syntax for non-breaking space
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2008 05:23:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1LHFHX-0005n1-CQ@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
When I type C-x = at a non-breaking space, it tells me that it
has code 160, hex a0. But when I execute (insert "\xa0"),
it inserts something that displays as `\240' and for which C-x =
displays this:
Char: (4194208, #o17777640, #x3fffa0, raw-byte) point=198 of 211 (93%) column=5
Is that a bug? It seems quite confusing to me.
I am unable to figure out what I should write in Lisp code
to represent non-breaking space. This isn't documented.
Perhaps \N should give non-breaking space.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/home/rms/emacs-cvs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
