Hello, recently I had a little bug. I think this hasn’t happened before, but I’m not sure.
Every time I type a word with an apostrophe, wanikani tells me that the answer is a bit off. I check, but it is written the same way. I didn’t understand until I noticed that this only happened with words containing an apostrophe.
I am French so I use personal synonyms to translate into French. For example, someone becomes quelqu’un.
It is difficult to do tests since we do not choose the reviews words. And I have to wait in the reviews for a word with an apostrophe to come out.
Anyway it’s not a big problem as long as wanikani doesn’t consider it a fault.
I try with character code finder, copy paste wanikani apostrophe entry and my keyboard apostrophe entry throw the same code: 0x27
Also, i write the synonym with the same computer and keyboard, so ???
I looked up this character, and this appears to actually be Unicode value 0x2019 or a “right single apostrophe” that is commonly used in French. It’s possible that when you type this character, it’s getting converted to 0x27 in the display (maybe because the font doesn’t support it?), but the actual input/WK backend is receiving the 0x2019 character. I’m not sure why the synonyms are getting saved with the 0x27 character though - maybe it’s just a difference in the way that user input is processed/sanitized.
Either way, I think this is actually a bug because the behavior is inconsistent.
Thank you for the tip donko. I will try with another web browser when i had time, and also take a look at the process with console. I use Firefox with Windows 10 (to old computer for 11 ).
After performing test, with Chrome, internet explorer, with my smartphone. Look at source code in wich you can see the list of user synonym for the quiz review and copy/paste it.
Nothing work.
As anyone notice the same behaviour with english sentence containing apostrophe ? (very hard to test because there aren’t many of them in English)
).
