4-byte UTF-8 character not supported? #7
Description
Activity
This is a Tcl/Tk issue. Tcl/Tk has two enhancement request outstanding to extend its Unicode handling beyond the BMP but as yet only one of these is completed for 8.6 and there is no support for non-BMP Unicode in 8.5. The two TIPs are http://tip.tcl.tk/388 and http://tip.tcl.tk/389 which indicates full Unicode 6.0 support is slated for 8.7 which is some way off.
So in summary - Tcl/Tk do not support 4 byte UTF-8.Thank you for your explanation.

on May 3, 2013
When having tried to commit with a commit message involving a four-byte UTF-8 character, namely non-BMP character, U+2123D, using Git GUI, the warning "commit message does not conform to UTF-8." came out.
With three-byte UTF-8 character, U+5721, no problem.
And filenames involving four-byte UTF-8 character shall be corrupted on Git GUI and gitk.
For example, when the filename is including U+2123D, it shall be displayed as "�" on these tools.
