| The source seems to have been the text/html component of an email.
| However, here's a reproduction case:
|
| $ xxd chime.html
| 00000000: 3c68 746d 6c3e 3c62 6f64 793e e280 9c48 <html><body>...H
| 00000010: 656c 6c6f 3c2f 626f 6479 3e3c 2f68 746d ello</body></htm
| 00000020: 6c3e 0a
|
| (if you want to reverse that, you can
|
| $ xxd -r > chime.html << EOF
| 00000000: 3c68 746d 6c3e 3c62 6f64 793e e280 9c48 <html><body>...H
| 00000010: 656c 6c6f 3c2f 626f 6479 3e3c 2f68 746d ello</body></htm
| 00000020: 6c3e 0a
| EOF
|
| to create "chime.html" exactly)
|
| When viewed in GUI browsers,
|
| $ firefox chime.html
|
| there's a UTF-8 double-quote before the "Hello" as marked by the
| bytes 0xE2, 0x80, 0x9C. However, when I open that document with
| lynx
|
| $ lynx chime.html
|
| it (1) doesn't display the double-quote, and also (2) eats the
| "H" in "Hello". Trying to view-source ("\") on that document also
| manifests the same symptoms.
|
| Hopefully that gives you adequate test case to break things, too. :-)
|
| -tim
you'll get that behavior if your locale is set to non-UTF-8, e.g,. "C"
(using "en_US" rather than "en_US.UTF-8" may also look like this, depending on
the terminal)
