  • UTF-8 detection uses obsolete ZWNBSP

    From Deucе@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Fri Oct 16 10:35:42 2026

    Since Unicode 3.2, U+2060 should be used within text, and U+FEFF may be treated as an [unsupported character](https://www.unicode.org/faq/unsup_char.html). However, if a program does this (for example, drawing a full width tofu or replacement glyph), the UTF-8 detection may not work correctly.

    See [here](https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode17.0.0/core-spec/chapter-23/#G20199) and [here](https://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#bom6) for more details.
