| rsc | cfa37a7 | 2004-04-10 18:53:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 39 | .SH BUGS |
| 40 | The Unicode Standard has many blank characters scattered through it, |
| 41 | but |
| 42 | .I wc |
| 43 | looks for only |
| 44 | .SM ASCII |
| 45 | space, tab and newline. |
| 46 | .br |
| 47 | .I Wc |
| 48 | should have options to count suboptimal |
| 49 | .SM UTF |
| 50 | codes |
| 51 | and bytes that cannot occur in any |
| 52 | .SM UTF |
| 53 | code. |
