I m working on a game i18n file. Some chars are being marked out automatically.
Can somebody explain the reason? It looks like I’m doing a search on the document but as you may see from my screenshot, the char(s) are not the same and I am not doing a search at all. It’s so weird.
Hey, this happens when some characters differ from UTF-8, especially in multilingual files. Try setting "editor.unicodeHighlight.ambiguousCharacters": false in the settings to disable the highlighting of such characters.
also, to note that, ambiguous characters; character map allow lists are not allowed because they cause confusion and often miinterpreted which is it itself a precursor or malicious activity perhaps. Different characters belong to different character sets and libraries over different languages and encodings etc.
