Impossible to save if edit contains ড় or ঢ় or য়
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

On any wiki, if your edit contains (if you input) one of following Bengali character:

  • (U+09DC)
  • (U+09DD)
  • (U+09DF)

AWB automatically skip the page with this error: "API MD5 hash error: The page you are editing may contain an unsupported or invalid Unicode character".

This makes use of AWB very difficult on Bengali sites. Many times i and others lost their edit because of this. It would be great if this gets fixed.

Event Timeline

I'm slightly curious that no one has seemingly reported this before (at least for AWB)...

@Reedy Hi, if possible, add a patch please. I cleanup articles using my bot account, it will make my (also others) work easier, and i don't have to worry when entering text, and use any workaround (e.g. write the text on my sandbox using browser, preview it or preview diff, copy it & paste it on AWB).

Yeah, I'll try and have a look in the next week or so

@Reedy Would it be possible for you to look into this task and help fix it?
