[TxMt] Unicode Bug in "Insert as Snippet"

[Hans-Jörg Bibiko]

Hi,

if one writes a tmcommand which should write unicode characters (ucs  
hex code large than 0xFFFF) via "Insert as Snippet" the output is wrong.
It is not easy to reproduce it caused by the font problem but doable.

-create a new tmcommand
-write echo "
-open Character Palette; go to View: Code Tables; browse to Unicode  
00020000 CJK Unified Ideographs Ext. B; scroll the glyph window to  
code point 20050 (column 0); double-click on it to insert into the  
tmcommand
-write after the inserted character a "
[if you have such a font you should see this:

otherwise you see a square or whatever.]
-set the output of the tmcommand to 'Insert as Snippet'

If you invoke that command instead of the Chinese character you will  
see a simple 'P'.
If you set the output to 'Insert as Text' you will see the correct  
character (if you have the font ;)

Why a 'P'? Answer: This character has the UCS code point 0x20050.  
Insert as Snippet ignores the leading 2 and will insert 0x0050. And  
0x50 is a 'P'.

One can do it for all characters beginning from 0x10000 up. Always  
the same.

I know, this bug is more or less marginal but at least for me it's  
important ? it's my job ;)

Cheers,

Hans
