Hi. I decided to write a small program in Go to convert utf8 to simple
ASCII. This need arose by my copying a file created in Ubuntu 16.04
amd64, and used on a win10 computer.
I decided to first change ", ' and emdash characters. Using hexdump -C
in Ubuntu, the runes in the file are:
open quote = 0xE2809C
close quote = 0xE2809D
apostrophe = 0xE28099
emdash = 0xE28094
However, when I write a simple program to display these runes from the
file, using the routines in unicode/utf8, I get very different values.
I do not understand this.
open quote = 0x201C
close quote = 0x201D
apostrophe = 0x2019
emdash = 0x2014.
Why are the runes returned by utf8.DecodeRuneInString different from
what hexdump shows when inspecting the file directly?
