Czech apples

[Kjetil Rå Hauge]

The letter "y-acute" (hex 00FD, dec 235) is 
essential for Czech. If I import UTF-16 text from 
a file or copy it from an application, this 
character displays as the well-known Apple 
trademark (on a Mac with 10.3.6. RR 2.5). The 
htmltext of a field with this character will be < 
p>ý< /p> (spaces deliberately inserted to 
avoid messing up mailreaders).

I can type this character from the keyboard 
(Unicode Hex Input kbd, opt+00FD) and it shows up 
fine. The htmltext is < p>< font face="Geneva" 
lang="en-UC">ý< /font>< /p>. I can fix the 
problem in a way with an ugly replace hack in the 
htmltext, but it won't put its head down - if add 
add text to a field by:

set the unicodetext of fld 1 to the unicodetext 
of fld 1 & the unicodetext of fld 2

  - then any proper y-acutes in field 2 are again 
converted into apples when added to field 1. I 
can avoid this by clumsy copy-and-paste routines, 
but this shouldn't be necessary.

I have reported this as a bug some time under 2.0 
(#542), but it was returned as non-reproducible.
