If you step through the Emacs Lisp example I sent along previously you
may notice that the search doesn't match either of the `ÿ's.
It does however match the character with numeric notations:
4194303, #o17777777, #x3fffff
4194221, #o17777655, #x3fffad
E.g. These rawbytes as presented by Emacs as characters:
(insert-byte (multibyte-char-to-unibyte 4194221) 1)
(insert-byte (multibyte-char-to-unibyte 4194303) 1)
This is what I don't understand.
If I evauate the following:
(progn
(save-excursion
(insert-byte (multibyte-char-to-unibyte 4194221) 1)
(insert-byte (multibyte-char-to-unibyte 4194303) 1))
(search-forward-regexp "ÿ" nil t))
I don't match.
Whereas if I evaluate:
(progn
(save-excursion (insert 10 #o377))
(search-forward-regexp "ÿ" nil t))
I get a match.
Likewise, if I evaluate
(progn (save-excursion (insert 10 4194303))
(search-forward-regexp "\377" nil t))
I get a match.
Which is to say, given the example regexp from the manual, i.e:
,----
| You cannot always match all non-ASCII characters with the regular
| expression `"[\200-\377]"'
`----
I am unable to locate the character: ÿ (255, #o377, #xff) e.g.
LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS
To be clear, my issue isn't that I am not able to match `ÿ' but rather
that I am able to match the raw-byte character representation with a
visual appearance which coincides with the octal value for the `ÿ'
character code i.e. #o377 this being otherwise widely understood as
`octal 0377'.
I hope this is more clear than the previous mail. I apologize if it is not.
