When Unicode is entered In the perl6 interactive shell on the command line in Mac OS X, when you backspace over a previously inputted line the cursor position is displayed incorrectly and backspacing only partially destroys the unicode character. $ perl6 > <a b c> ∩ <b c d> set(c, b) > (press the up arrow key to copy the line) —> the cursor appears some spaces to the right of the end of the line. (Press the delete key 9 times) —> the second byte of the unicode intersect character only is deleted, leaving a question mark in a diamond character (unicode name: REPLACEMENT CHARACTER): � (Press enter key) Malformed termination of UTF-8 string in sub nativecast at /Applications/Rakudo/share/perl6/sources/51E302443A2C8FF185ABC10CA1E5520EFEE885A1 (NativeCall::Types) line 5 in method deref at /Applications/Rakudo/share/perl6/sources/51E302443A2C8FF185ABC10CA1E5520EFEE885A1 (NativeCall::Types) line 58 in sub linenoise at /Applications/Rakudo/share/perl6/site/sources/0BDF8C54D33921FEA066491D8D13C96A7CB144B9 (Linenoise) line 86 in any interactive at src/Perl6/Compiler.nqp line 62 I enter this Unicode character by using the Japanese input method, but you can use the Mac OS X unicode/emoji viewer. I used the N-ARY INTERSECT character above but the fat INTERSECT character does the same thing. This problem does not occur when entering a program in this shell using perl6 -e ‘’, nor when I run vi in this shell and edit in vi. Environment: Mac OS X 10.12.3 Sierra, Rakudo 2017.1 dmg, iTerm Build 3.1.beta.1, bash-3.2 with export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 Regards, Matt
