Description Marian Petras 2007-01-15 08:59:33 UTC 
When the user is typing characters that cannot be encoded using the current
encoding, the user should be notified of the fact and warned.

For example, these characters could be specially highlighted (e.g. with red
background) and the status bar could contain a brief explanation.
Comment 1 Marian Petras 2007-04-26 14:41:12 UTC 
Now that issue #32392 ("Edit Text Rather than Escape Sequences") is fixed,
everything is encoded using a pure ASCII characters and \uxxxx sequences - see
also issue #75906 ("Add support for other encodings (other than ISO-8859-1)").
