Hi Daniel McCosh

U+10AA16 is not an illegal character in XML... Have you tried converting it into an inline tag?

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I'm not quite sure how to go about this - I can convert numeric entites to placeholders but then the numeric value 1092118 won't fit. I could add the character entity 􊨖 but then I can't add the numeric value. Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way?

Many thanks,

Daniel

Hi Daniel McCosh

could you post a small sample file?

Daniel

3034.sample.zipHi @Daniel Hug, here is a sample file. Thanks for taking a look, Daniel

Hm, seems to be tricky.

Main problem is probably that regex only does 4 hexadecimal digits (\x{FFFF}). I can't address the char with Notepad++! (Only when I select and copy it...)

I would pre-process the file and replace it with a tag, translate, then replace tag with that custom unicode char in a post-processing step.

Daniel

Thank you for that useful nugget of regex info! I was hoping I'd overlooked an easy option to catch all my problem characters but I'll just pre-process them instead. Interestingly, memoQ displays the replacement character and writes the file without corrupting the character.

Hi Daniel McCosh

there might be a more elegant way, but this is how I would do it... Maybe Evzen Polenka knows a better way?
