| Summary | 0013644: More than 4 hexigits unicodes | ||||
| Description | Scribus "insert character" glyph table dialog only enables 4 hexigits unicode inputs. Decimal 128198 unicode glyph or hex 📆 can't be typed in because it's 5 hexigits (hexadecimal digit). (About this glyph : (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f4c6/index.htm ) Could the insert glyph input dialog be extended so as to allow 5 or 6 hexigits unicodes ? | ||||

|
Currently Scribus text layout supports only 16bit encoded unicode values. So adding 5 or 6 hexigits unicodes to Insert > Glyph is not possible at this point. |
|
|
jghali, add this to a 'Future Release's ? |
|
|
No, this feature does not depends only on us. Qt needs first to support unicode range above 65535, which is something we will not see in Qt 5. Until then, that feature cannot be seen as part of a future release. |

jluc, if you find the Qt upstream feature request you can link it to this ticket and we can tag this 'upstream' |

I created a qt report : https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-50430 |
|
|
Answer on Qt bug tracker says : "Qt supports the whole range of Unicode code points. see QString::fromUcs4()" Its documented here : http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#fromUcs4 |
|
|
QChar doesn't allow storing unicode values above 65535. |
|
|
Anyway your bug was at most a duplicate of https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-18868 |
|
|
Question : How should unicodes with more than 2 hexigits be managed when QString indices are actually 16-bit indices ? Qt dev answers : qDebug() << QString::fromUcs4(&ucs4, 1); |
