>From the output, this is 'org-time-stamp', which produces
<2019-02-28 Thu> here. Based on this in the report:
Important settings:
value of $LANG: ZHH
locale-coding-system: cp1252
Iʼm assuming thereʼs an issue with buffer-file-coding-system or
similar. If I do
LANG=zh_HK src/emacs -Q
(require 'org)
(org-time-stamp) => <2019-02-28 四>
where that character after the date is CJK IDEOGRAPH-56DB
(and now Iʼve exhausted what I know about Asian characters)
