Problem with Unicode in the WinSCP internal editor

2017-11-20 08:08

Hello,
there is a Problem with one Unicode character with the WinSCP internal editor.

My workaround:

display the character with the HTML hexadecimal code in a webbrowser.
copy&paste the character into OpenOffice Calc.
copy&paste the character into Notepad++
copy&paste the character into the WinSCP internal editor

than, the Unicode character "1D5BC" don't display, but a range of 1023 other characters displaying correctly.

HTML is UTF-8

<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">

OpenOffice import with Unicode (UTF-8)
Notepad++ is set UTF-8
WinSCP internal editor encoding is set UTF-8

When I edit the *.html file in Notepad++ local and upload it, there is no problem with this character.
