Regarding the problems I have with my firstname and file paths and utf-8 encoding, I found something weird in the UTF-8 encoding. In fact, to be more precise, I found something strange when converting a String to a ByteArray (which UTF-8 encoders convert from)
If I look at the example in the comment of ByteArray>>utf8Decoded, 'Les élèves français' is encoded as:
#[76 101 115 32 195 169 108 195 168 118 101 115 32 102 114 97 110 195 167 97 105 115]
NOW, if I take that very same string, 'Les élèves français' , and convert it to a ByteArray, I get : 'Les élèves français' asByteArray printString.
You cannot do that, that is using a null encoding, which is almost always wrong. Please read (the first part) of https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuccessfu... carefully.
#[76 101 115 32 233 108 232 118 101 115 32 102 114 97 110 231 97 105 115]
The 2 don't match!
By the way, this problem exists on Pharo 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 (on Windows 10 )
Can anyone confirm/infirm on another platform to see if this is Windows-specific?
This behaviour is not-windows specific, it is like that on all platforms, and it is correct ;-)
