.SH BUGS
|
||
|
|
The Unicode Standard has many blank characters scattered through it,
|
||
|
|
but
|
||
|
|
.I wc
|
||
|
|
looks for only
|
||
|
|
.SM ASCII
|
||
|
|
space, tab and newline.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.I Wc
|
||
|
|
should have options to count suboptimal
|
||
|
|
.SM UTF
|
||
|
|
codes
|
||
|
|
and bytes that cannot occur in any
|
||
|
|
.SM UTF
|
||
|
|
code.
