RE: About Unicode IVS - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Thanks you for the explanation, Unicode always blows my mind 😊  The problems is that postgres is counting code points which in your example is two.

thank you for your reply.

This is because two characters display one character.

This includes Unicode Variant Selectors and Combining Characters.

Moto.

Why do you expect the concatenation of two characters to return a length of one? 

thank you for your reply.

It will be 2 characters.

select char_length(U&'\+008FBA' || U&'\+0E0102');

char_length

-------------

           2

(1 行)

select length('辺󠄂');

length

--------

      2

(1 行)

select char_length('辺󠄂');

char_length

-------------

           2

(1 行)

$ psql -l

Hi,

 

In the Length () function, it will be 2 characters where you want it to be 1 character.

Is it possible to respond by changing the settings such as changing the collation setting like SQL Server?

Also, if you understand how to deal with it (eg, create your own function), it would be helpful if you could provide as much information as you can.
