Coded Graphics Seem Broken I had not stumbled upon that anomaly.
But.....
What happened to the musical notes and other coded graphics ?
For example, these : ♪ ♫
used to yield musical note symbols.
(hit reply and quote my post to see my codes)
BTW, I am temp testing FireFox 14 right now on XP, and missing them, but they always used to work in IE8. |

Until the extended character set arabic "crash the browser" sequences are patched in webkit, they're disabled in forums. |

When did THAT happen ?
Will posts which I made prior to that date also not show the xtd chars ? |

Yes as the filter is for upper end extended characters.
Can you point me to an example post that was useful but has now lost its content, some of the characters can be whitelisted. |

I cannot speak for everyone, but I used some musical characters, two of which are hidden in my first post about this.
That group of musical codes is all in a sequence, some before and some after those two examples, IIRC. |

So only those two notes?
♪ ♫ |

Mainly yes, though there are more related symbols near them.
I cannot recall exactly how many others, just before or after those 2 codes.
Is there a list/table of these characters anywhere for me to examine ? |

It's fixed in ios 7 but we still need a patch for OX 10. |

» www.fileformat.info/info ··· list.htm is the dingbat block although some don't show in my browser. edit: since the dingbat block is (and I'm extremely reluctant to say this) sort of useful I'll whitelist that range the next code push your musical notes will appear. If I sound cautious it is because even apart from rendering bugs crashing browsers - which probably won't happen again - I'm betting there are other nasties lurking in just opening the door to the full gamut of utf8 html entities, especially when used in an ISO-8859 database and site. XSS exploits spring to mind: » www.owasp.org/index.php/ ··· at_Sheet |

Thanks - I appreciate that.
So when did news surface of this 'Arabic character' browser crashing thing ? (or whatever you first called it)
And was it actually affecting DSLR, or were you just being careful when you disabled the code block ? |

I checked the linked page » www.fileformat.info/info ··· list.htm just now, and in FireFox 14, I can see them all the way down to 'EAST SYRIAC CROSS', which is just after the musical notes, about half way down the page. BTW, THEY have different code numbers than you do. Is this something where you have to manually map the desired characters to a table at your end ? |

On chrome there are gaps. Anyway the code numbers are right, ignore the U+ code drill in for example » www.fileformat.info/info ··· ndex.htm♫ or ♫ shows as a double note on my browser. If it doesn't on firefox then I think nobody should be using them (which was sort of my original point) but it probably does. |

Re: Coded Graphics Seem Broken Yes, your next code push indeed made them appear. Actually, that is a 'tied' pair of 8th notes. The details page on that site also has several other terms which describe them. BTW, my bad on the code numbers - I had missed that they are expressed in Hex in their table, but both ways on their details pages. I am seeing the characters now while still testing FireFox today, but they looked the same in IE8 in the recent past. |
