<![CDATA[Entering Katakana character into find dialog not working]]>I tried to edit an html file that contains Japanese text.

I wanted to change a Katakana ’ 〜 ’ to an ASCII tilde ‘~’

But when I pasted the ’ 〜 ’ into the find dialog a ? character was displayed and when I pressed Find it didn’t work.

Sounds a bit like a bug to me :(

Cheers, David

Sounds like a font issue and/or rendering-mode issue to me. What are your settings on Settings > Preferences > Searching (especially Use Monospaced font in Find dialog) and Settings > Preferences > MISC > rendering mode dropdown?

And what encoding is your file that contains Japanese text?
