2.18.1 bug: The tag chooser writes tags with non-Latin chars garbled to db

[Helge]

The tag chooser writes tags with non-Latin chars garbled to db, e.g. German umlauts and emojis. Anybody know if there is an issue for that yet?

Can you say more about which characters you’re talking about? And what “broken” means? (And also post what you get from Settings > About > Copy debug info.)

I just checked this with the non-Latin characters I use regularly (which include the equivalent of German umlaut-ed characters), and they show up fine for me. Of course non-Latin and non-ASCII aren’t the same thing, hence my questions above.

Thank you for answering.

The bug is new in 2.18.1. You are on 2.18.0, which works fine.

It is even worse than I thought because when I edit tags, all tags are written broken to the changed notes!

In the pics it’s only Emojis, but also happens with German umlauts.

I’m glad you clarified the version you were talking about. That will help the devs know where to focus their efforts.

Think this is the issue: [BUG]: 2.18.1 version, add card page, click Tags, error to goto home page · Issue #16476 · ankidroid/Anki-Android · GitHub

This is happening also in 2.19alpha2. I thought it was me who imported some deck with not supported characters.
