I've sent to myself the incriminated characters, that is: U+2026 … e2 80 a6 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS U+2019 ’ e2 80 99 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK U+201C “ e2 80 9c LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK U+2018 ‘ e2 80 98 LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK (source: https://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl? start=8192&number=128) and I haven't noticed anything, but maybe I misunderstood where exactly the problem should be observed. My Kmail has the same version number as yours, even though my update is like a week old. Let's see how this email shows ;) My locale is a bit different from yours. $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 > ق > > > Locale seem to be correct: > > LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 > LANGUAGE=en_GB > LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" > LC_ALL= > > Presumably a bug with this version of kmail but could be something I have > overlooked, so it would be helpful to know if anyone else has seen this > happening. > > > Rob > > (up to date Debian Sid)
