Via Tender: Add support for diacritics ("accented" characters) in hashtags
Reported by Ed Finkler | April 15th, 2010 @ 01:15 PM
Assigned to Tender discussion #39. As reported in Tender:
in Spaz 0.8.5, when you tweet something containing accentuated characters (i.e. diacritics)
in a hashtag, the automatic link created disappear at this character.Screenshot : http://fr.tinypic.com/r/rwp4w1/5 (the link is broken after the
first 'é')Could we do something for it ?

I don't believe this can be fixed due to limitations in javascript's regex capability. Specifically because the Javascript has "No Unicode support, except for matching single characters with \uFFFF", which is to say it could be resolved for single, specific characters, but not in any maintainable way, since you couldn't use the proper Unicode Character Properties

After playing with Titanium a bit yesterday, it seems they have ruby / python / php support built in. Depending on whether the inherent python / php supports Unicode Character Properties in their regex, you may be able to resolve this issue at that point.

Right, that's a possibility. Also, we may be able to get away with
setting a unicode range that covers the usual suspects.-- Ed Finkler

Python has pretty good unicode support. It looks like a pretty simple fix, if Python is used. Check out this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14389/regex-and-unicode

That auto-fill on "Who's responsible?" is kind of annoying.
