Feature preview: Better Unicode handling

In the forthcoming release of PyScripter, there are numerous editor improvements.  One are that has been revamped is the handling of Unicode, which is now on a par with the best editors around (e.g. VS Code, Scintilla, etc.).  More specically,  there are improvements in the handling of:

  • Wide glyphs (e.g. Chinese characters)
  • Surrogate pairs and combining characters
  • emojis  (you can enter with the Windows key + .)
  • Bi-directional text.

The picture below demonstrates these improvements:
