Description Eric Siegerman 2018-04-27 18:42:11 UTC 
There is some inconsistency in the register's handling of (what I
believe to be) invalid input.  This isn't new; it's the same in
GNC 3.0 and 2.6.18.

In a text field (I've tested a txn's description and a split's
memo), both U+E9 ("é", e-acute) and U+1F600 ("

Please finish writing your report.

Also note that from the UI side GnuCash accepts *only* UTF8 input. If you are somehow defeating that and forcing UTF32 into it, it will break. That would be your problem, not ours. Finally, U+1f600 is an emoji, not a left paren.
Comment 2 Eric Siegerman 2018-04-27 18:55:35 UTC 
It turns out Bugzilla doesn't like that U+1F600 emoji either -- it truncated my description starting at the first occurrence of it.  (I thought af first I was having Javascript troubles, rather than that the text was actually incomplete.)

Since I can't edit the description to repair it, I'm closing this issue and will file a new one shortly.

This issue has been resubmitted as:
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795614

@John Ralls: I was using the CTRL-SHIFT-U escape sequence for the non-ASCII characters.  That produces UTF-8, right?
