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.
#[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?
