sect(What is zsh's support for Unicode/UTF-8?)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`Unicode', or UCS for Universal Character Set, is the modern way
|
||||||
|
of specifying character sets. It replaces a large number of ad hoc
|
||||||
|
ways of supporting character sets beyond ASCII. `UTF-8' is an
|
||||||
|
encoding of Unicode that is particularly natural on Unix-like systems.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Q: Does zsh support UTF-8?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A: zsh's built-in printf command supports "\u" and "\U" escapes
|
||||||
|
to output arbitrary Unicode characters. ZLE (the Zsh Line Editor) has
|
||||||
|
no concept of character encodings, and is confused by multi-octet
|
||||||
|
encodings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Q: Why doesn't zsh have proper UTF-8 support?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A: The code has not been written yet.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Q: What makes UTF-8 support difficult to implement?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A: In order to handle arbitrary encodings the correct way, significant
|
||||||
|
and intrusive changes must be made to the shell.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Q: Why can't zsh just use readline?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A: ZLE is not encapsulated from the rest of the shell. Isolating it
|
||||||
|
such that it could be replaced by readline would be a significant
|
||||||
|
effort. Furthermore, using readline would effect a significant loss of
|
||||||
|
features.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Q: What changes are planned?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A: Introduction of Unicode support will be gradual, so if you are
|
||||||
|
interested in being involved you should join the zsh-workers mailing
|
||||||
|
list. As a first step ZLE will be rewritten to use wide characters
|
||||||
|
internally. Character based widgets can then operate on a single wide
|
||||||
|
character instead of a single byte, and the proper display width can be
|
||||||
|
calculated with wcswidth().
